Every day you will manage trial activities, including participant recruitment, data collection, and documentation, serving as a key liaison for all stakeholders. You will ensure strict adherence to protocols and regulatory requirements from study initiation to completion.
To be successful in this role, you will bring relevant clinical research experience and a strong understanding of regulatory guidelines (e.g., GCP, FDA). Your exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate effectively will be crucial in this dynamic field.

The Barrow Neuro Analytics Center (BNAC) is an 18,000-square-foot data science hub that leverages large-scale, data-driven research approaches to better understand and ultimately improve outcomes in neurological diseases. The Barrow Neuroimaging Innovation Center (BNIC) is a 6,000+ square-foot imaging research facility with a research-dedicated 3T MRI and advanced acquisition capabilities, supporting cutting-edge structural and functional neuroimaging for internal and external investigators. Within BNAC, the Multimodal Imaging Genomics (MIG) Lab combines neuroimaging, genomics, and machine learning to study brain aging and secondary injury across cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, and traumatic brain diseases. The Research Program Manager will provide high-level program management across the MIG Lab and BNIC, coordinating complex, data-intensive projects, aligning timelines and deliverables, and ensuring organized, compliant operations that enable PIs and teams to execute impactful neuroimaging and omics research at scale.

The Research Program Manager – Neuroimaging/Data Science is responsible for the administration, oversight, and coordination of complex research portfolios in neuroimaging and bioinformatics/omics across multiple principal investigators (PIs). The role ensures rigorous planning, execution, and tracking of grants, studies, and datadriven projects, with a strong emphasis on detailed documentation, organized workflows, and ontime delivery of milestones. The Program Manager partners closely with PIs, research administration, and crossfunctional teams (imaging analysts, data scientists, biostatisticians, coordinators) to support study startup, regulatory approvals, data management, and reporting activities. The position requires exceptional attention to detail, the ability to manage numerous parallel tasks and deadlines, and the capacity to build and maintain structured systems that keep PI research programs running efficiently and compliantly.

• Facilitates research activities in close partnership with PIs by coordinating grant submissions, renewals, progress reports, and portfolio-level planning for neuroimaging and bioinformatics/omics projects, ensuring all components are complete, accurate, and submitted on time.
• Develops, maintains, and regularly updates portfolio-level workplans (e.g., Gantt charts, task trackers, dashboards) for each PI, tracking key deliverables such as data freezes, analyses, manuscripts, regulatory submissions, and sponsor deadlines.
• Coordinates the full lifecycle of studies within PI portfolios, from initial concept and feasibility review through IRB/other regulatory submissions, study activation, ongoing amendments, and final study closure, ensuring meticulous documentation and compliance with institutional and federal requirements.
• Serves as the central operational point of contact for assigned PI portfolios, organizing and leading regular checkins, circulating agendas and minutes, documenting decisions and action items, and following through to confirm timely completion of tasks by all team members.
• Implements and maintains standardized organizational systems (e.g., shared drive structures, naming conventions, templates, SOPs, project management tools) tailored to neuroimaging and omics workflows, promoting consistency, version control, and reproducibility across projects.
• Coordinates cross-functional project teams, including imaging core staff, data engineers, statisticians, coordinators, and external collaborators, to clarify roles, define timelines, monitor progress, and promptly address operational barriers.
• Supports financial and administrative management of PI portfolios by collaborating with research administration on budget development, monitoring expenditures, managing invoicing and effort reporting, and flagging variances or risks early using structured tracking tools.
• Prepares and quality checks high-detail materials for internal and external stakeholders, including status reports, slide decks, sponsor updates, and metrics summaries (e.g., enrollment, data completeness, analysis progress), ensuring all information is accurate, current, and clearly organized.

Required

• Bachelor's Degree
• Minimum of five (5) years experience in neuroimaging, bioinformatics, and/or multiomics (e.g., MRI/fMRI/diffusion imaging, genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, large-scale data science)
• Three (3) years management experience
• Clinical Research Associate, within 12 - months

Preferred

• Masters Degree in healthcare related or (neuroscience, bioinformatics, biostatistics, data science, public health, health administration, or similar)
