About the role

  • Coordinate imaging workflow components in partnership with imaging scientists and the Research Manager by executing day-to-day imaging operations, tracking progress, and resolving workflow gaps that impact stroke research objectives.
  • Manage incoming imaging acquisitions from 50–100+ sites by monitoring submission timeliness, verifying protocol compliance, and communicating directly with site research teams to correct deviations.
  • Perform detailed imaging QA/QC by evaluating imaging parameters, assessing image quality, documenting discrepancies, and escalating issues that may affect research usability or adjudication.
  • Develop and maintain imaging research documentation by drafting and updating imaging guides, CRFs, SOPs, and data dictionaries that support consistent research-grade imaging processes.
  • Prepare curated imaging datasets by organizing scans, labeling, segmenting and structuring files, ensuring completeness, and compiling materials for research presentations, manuscripts, DSMBs, and safety/data review panels.
  • Collaborate with imaging scientists, radiologists, neurologists, statisticians, and the Research Manager to align imaging data handling and workflow execution with study protocol requirements and scientific priorities.
  • Operationalize standardized adjudication workflows by preparing image packages, coordinating reviewer assignments, tracking adjudication progress, and ensuring consistent interpretation of imaging findings.
  • Contribute to research meetings by summarizing imaging progress, presenting workflow updates, and assisting with literature reviews, manuscript sections, and scientific data summaries.
  • Train site personnel, students, and interns by leading sessions on data submission workflows, protocol adherence, and imaging research best practices.
  • Provide research support across additional imaging studies and StrokeNet trials by executing protocol-specific imaging tasks, assisting with subject-level imaging procedures, and supporting evolving research operational needs.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a scientific field such as health sciences, neuroscience public health, or related discipline.
  • In-depth knowledge of specialized field, process or discipline.
