Job Summary:

The B4 Health Lab is looking for a sharp, curious, and driven researcher to join our team full-time. Our work sits at the intersection of the Brain, Body, Biome, and Behavior - exploring how these systems connect to advance both physical and mental health. This is not a passive support role.

That means you'll be the person participants trust, the one ensuring protocols are followed precisely, and the contributor who keeps studies running smoothly and compliantly. Specifically, you will.

• Serve as Primary Coordinator on multiple studies, mastering protocols and study documents and ensuring every procedure meets regulatory standards

• Drive participant recruitment - from pre-screening and phone contacts to in-person interviews and eligibility confirmation

• Guide participants through the informed consent process and coordinate all scheduling logistics, including clinical resources such as nursing, laboratory, radiology, and pharmacy

• Collect, code, and analyze study data with precision, maintaining records in compliance with FDA requirements, IRB standards, and applicable SOPs

• Contribute to process improvement by supporting the development of SOPs and quality assurance initiatives that make the whole team better

• Perform data entry and quality reviews in REDCap and Excel
