Epidemiology Project Manager
The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit breast cancer research
organization is seeking a dynamic, motivated, highly-organized, detail oriented,
experienced Epidemiology Project Manager to become part of our team to manage and
support the novel Health of Women Study, an online cohort study of one million
individuals.
The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation was founded in 1983 to eradicate breast
cancer and improve the quality of women's health through innovative research,
education, and advocacy.
Despite the advances that have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of breast
cancer, we still don’t understand what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it. In
2009, The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation partnered with the City of Hope and the
National Cancer Institute to launch the Health of Women Study, with the goal of
recruiting one million women and men who are willing to participate in the first ever large
online cohort.
The Project Manager will report to the Executive Director, and will work closely with the
President of the Foundation, as well as our collaborators at the City of Hope. S/he will
have extensive experience in epidemiological research, as well as managing complex
projects with multiple collaborators, limited resources, strict timeline, and large scope.
Principal Duties
The Epidemiology Project Manager will manage a large, high profile, complex, national
research initiative, which may include managing technical and data-related aspects. The
manager is responsible for the overall coordination (planning, setting milestones &
deadlines, assigning responsibilities, monitoring progress and reporting of project status
to upper management and other stakeholders) and oversight of all project work to
ensure that the goals and objectives are accomplished within the constraints of schedule
and expectations. The Manager will oversee the coordination of collaborations, maintain
project timelines and scope, attend meetings and calls, coordinate documents and
revisions, submit Institutional Review Board documents and organize meetings and
presentations.
The Manager will also coordinate the software development, piloting and roll-out of the
Health of Women modules and oversee further work on the core module (online
questionnaire) of the system, which is already live.
