What is an SSU?

An SSU (Site Start-Up) job typically involves managing the initiation phase of clinical trials, ensuring that all regulatory, ethical, and contractual requirements are met before a study begins. Professionals in this role coordinate site selection, contract negotiations, ethics committee submissions, and regulatory approvals. They work closely with sponsors, clinical research organizations (CROs), and study sites to streamline the startup process. Strong project management and regulatory knowledge are essential for success in this position.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the SSU position?

To excel as a Site Start-Up (SSU) Specialist, you need a solid understanding of clinical research regulations, project management skills, and experience with start-up processes for clinical trials. Familiarity with regulatory submission systems, Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), and specific certifications in clinical research (such as SOCRA or ACRP) are highly valued. Strong organizational abilities, effective communication, and attention to detail are crucial soft skills for managing multiple projects and liaising with stakeholders. These competencies ensure that clinical study sites are activated efficiently, compliantly, and on schedule.

What are some typical challenges that Site Start-Up (SSU) specialists face during clinical trial initiation?

Site Start-Up (SSU) Specialists often encounter challenges such as navigating complex regulatory requirements, coordinating with multiple stakeholders, and managing tight project timelines. Delays with ethics committee approvals, contract negotiations, or submission discrepancies can impact study launch dates. Success in this role requires adaptability, proactive problem-solving, and strong communication with both internal teams and external partners, such as investigators and site staff. By anticipating issues and staying detail-oriented, SSU Specialists help clinical trials get off to a smooth, compliant start.

Position Description

Exciting Opportunity at SSU!

Physician, Hourly Intermittent 

Are you a physician (MD or DO) seeking a better work/life balance who is passionate about providing top-quality primary care medical services? Do you want sufficient time to build relationships with patients, focus on preventative care, and offer health education? Would you enjoy working with a diverse student body on a beautiful, dynamic college campus, with opportunities to engage in outreach and collaborate with campus partners?

If the idea of working only as your schedule allows and having ample time for family, friends, hobbies, and personal interests appeals to you, this position is for you. No on-call responsibilities or long hours are required! This might be an ideal position for someone who wants to move away from full-time work but would still like to provide medical care on their own terms without the challenges of private practice or working in large, intensive systems.

Sonoma State University (SSU) is seeking a skilled physician to join our team at the Student Health Center (SHC) as we continue to develop and reinforce our culture of excellence. If you are looking for a fulfilling career with outstanding benefits, we encourage you to apply.

About Us

Sonoma State University values diversity, respect, excellence, and integrity. The SHC strives to provide high quality, affirming, and culturally-sensitive/humble care and health education to a diverse student population. The team includes administrators, medical assistants, registered nurses, a health educator, a laboratory scientist, a pharmacist, and medical providers. We are primarily funded by student fees, do not accept insurance, and are able to offer our students low or no-cost services. We largely treat acute illness and minor injury, perform age- and lifestyle-appropriate screening, and have the time and capacity to provide both individualized and population-based focus on health education and preventive care. We also provide reproductive health care including medication abortion. Join us and be a part of something extraordinary!

The Role

As a physician, you'll be an integral part of the SHC team reporting to the Sr. Director of Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) and the SHC. You will be part of a small, talented, and collaborative medical team that prioritizes achievement, reliability, compassion, diversity, teamwork, and well-being. You will spend most of your time providing direct care to our students but may also participate in department planning, quality improvement, committee work, and outreach activities. You'll play a key role in ensuring the excellence and effectiveness of health services and will make a meaningful impact on the current and future health of SSU students.

Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you'll need to be licensed as an MD or a DO in the State of California and be board certified in primary care. You'll need strong interpersonal skills and excellent communication skills in both written and verbal formats. You should be proficient with computers and software including electronic health records. Experience working in higher education, interest in working with students from historically marginalized communities, and ability to speak fluently in Spanish are all preferred. This position requires successful completion of a livescan background check.
