Research coordinator / teamlead R&I Lung Center

• The best of both worlds: staying substantively involved in clinical research and receiving the space to lead and advance a team.
• Working in a nationally and internationally renowned expertise center where specialist lung care and scientific research are closely linked.
• Plenty of independence and room for your ideas, together with experienced physicians, nurses, and research professionals who enjoy sharing their knowledge.

Within Research & Innovation (R&I) of our Lung Center, you will combine the coordination and execution of clinical studies with the management of the research team. You will remain actively involved in the research yourself and, in addition, take responsibility for the daily organization of the team.

As a research coordinator, you are responsible for the preparation, setup, progress, and correct execution of various clinical studies. You monitor quality and ensure that study documentation is in order from the first contact through to the close-out. In this role, you are the point of contact for principal investigators, pharmaceutical sponsors, and hospital administration.

As a team lead, you manage the research team. You distribute the workload, monitor schedules, and ensure the effective deployment of staff and resources across the various studies. You maintain an overview, identify bottlenecks, and work together with colleagues to find suitable solutions.

In addition, you will be involved in:

• Independently drafting and executing study plans and study visits.
• Recording research data in the CRF.
• Coordinating and consulting with various departments within the hospital.
• Drafting and improving procedure descriptions, work instructions, and checklists.

You contribute ideas on how we can further improve our research processes and the collaboration within the team.

You will join Research & Innovation (R&I) at the St. Antonius Lung Center, part of our expertise center for rare lung diseases.

Researchers and healthcare professionals work together to gain more knowledge about these conditions and new treatment possibilities.

Within R&I, 19 professionals, including physicians, nurses, and medical biologists, work together on diverse research projects. You will be part of a dedicated team with an open, collegial atmosphere. Colleagues share their knowledge, help one another, and are open to new ideas. You will be given the space to work independently and contribute ideas for improvements.

• Experience with organizing and coordinating clinical studies.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to maintain an overview and set priorities.

Experience in guiding or managing colleagues is a plus. More importantly, you have the ambition to take responsibility for the team in addition to your substantive duties.

At St. Antonius, you work on (highly) complex care with your heart in the right place. We are a top-clinical teaching hospital where patient care, education, and research go hand in hand. Thanks to our size, we make a real impact, but remain agile and personal.

Our clinical priorities are heart & vascular, lungs, and cancer. Additionally, we are one of the leaders in the Netherlands in the field of value-based care. This means that we do not only look at what is medically possible, but especially at what truly makes a difference for the individual patient. By structurally measuring the most important outcomes and learning together, also with the other Santeon hospitals, we make care a little bit better every day. With us, every employee, including you, makes a difference for the patient.
