The School of Nursing at the University of Virginia seeks a highly qualified applicant for the role of Clinical Research Coordinator, non-licensed. Clinical Research Coordinators, non-licensed, work closely with study subjects and other research staff and are involved in most steps of the research trial process. They function under the principal investigator and cannot perform any tasks that by state or local law require a medical license to perform. They work independently and have the authority to adapt methods and procedures to meet the needs of the clinical trial. They focus on the long-term goals of clinical research trial and process.

Ranked among the top nursing schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, UVA aims to create a diverse community of students, scholars, and staff who aspire to achieve excellence in education, research, and clinical experiences.

We are deeply committed to developing a community that is inclusive and respectful and that considers diversity to be a key part of our excellence. We seek applicants whose experience, research, and teaching have prepared them to substantially contribute to this mission. We welcome, in particular, applicants from groups who have been historically underrepresented in nursing, including racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+, veterans, people with disabilities, and men.
