The Research Assistant will liaise with relevant personnel in the hospital, university, and collaborating laboratories to streamline recruitment, biospecimen flow, and data collection, and will be accountable to the Principal Investigator (PI). The RA is expected to:
- Oversee the general management and day-to-day coordination of the multiple projects across sites.
- Provide administrative and secretarial support, including organizing regular investigator and collaborator meetings, preparing agendas and minutes, and maintaining clear communication with research team members, external laboratories, and industry partners (if any).
- Assist with ethics and grant applications, renewals, safety documents, and ongoing regulatory and grant administration.
- Undertake day-to-day running of the project at the study site(s), including collaboration with clinical teams, recruitment and consent of subjects, conducting study procedures according to protocol, and data collection at hospitals and, where applicable, participants' homes.
- Study coordinator duties:
a. Plan, organize and coordinate the workflow of study projects to ensure compliance with study protocols and timelines.
b. Recruit, screen and consent participants, and track enrolment targets.
c. Perform study activities as required by protocol and coordinate patients' schedules, study visits and investigations.
d. Maintain proper study documentation for all study-related activities according to regulatory and institutional standards (e.g. case report forms, source documents, drug/accountability logs where applicable, and regulatory binders/investigator site files).
e. Prepare for and participate in monitoring visits and quality assurance audits conducted by study sponsors, institutional units, or regulatory bodies.
f. Coordinate biological sample collection, labelling, processing, storage and shipment according to study requirements and biosafety guidelines.
- Project and collaborator coordination duties:
a. Serve as operational contact for external collaborators and core facilities performing single-cell, spatial transcriptomics and other advanced assays, including arranging sample transfers, tracking sample and data status, and resolving logistical issues.
b. Maintain up-to-date tracking logs for specimens, sequencing/spatial runs, data deliveries and analysis milestones, and proactively flag delays or issues to the PI.
c. Facilitate data and material transfer research agreements, ensure adherence to institutional policies, agreed timelines and deliverables, and support integration of experimental outputs into the project database.
- Maintain the highest standard of professional conduct, confidentiality, and record keeping in accordance with institutional policies and good clinical practice.
- Assist with any other duties of a similar nature that are delegated by the PI.
