Stanford University School of Medicine has a mission to innovate, support and promote high impact global reaching clinical research to improve human health. One increasingly apparent threat to human health, particularly in outdoor workers, is heat stress. With the Department of Medicine, the Divisions of Infectious Diseases and Nephrology are conducting NIH funded research on ways to mitigate the impact of heat on industrial workers. This project has two aims:
- In a laboratory setting, we will ask human volunteers to walk on a treadmill in a heated environment to:
a. Identify biomarkers of heat stress
b. Test methods for mitigating heat stress
In a real-world industrial environment (outdoor workers), test the efficacy and acceptability of these heat mitigation strategies
Work under supervision of the principal investigator and/or study coordinator/supervisor on an international study of chronic kidney disease, due in part, to heat stress.
We are seeking a research coordinator to assist in all of these aims. Because many outdoor workers in California are native Spanish speakers, this coordinator must be fluent in English and Spanish.
