Research Coordinator II - College of Nursing

The University of Florida College of Nursing seeks a Research Coordinator II to support SURVIBENE-LT, a five-year NIH/NIDDK-funded, multi-site research study focused on improving liver transplantation decision-making and patient outcomes. Working under the direction of the Principal Investigator, this position will coordinate day-to-day research operations, support collaboration among project partners, maintain study documentation, facilitate regulatory and administrative activities, and assist with project implementation and reporting. The role is integral to advancing innovative, data-driven research that leverages clinical data, artificial intelligence, and patient-centered outcomes. This is a 0.50 FTE, grant-funded position expected to continue for the duration of the project.

Coordinate day-to-day activities across UF, the University of Minnesota, the Cleveland Clinic, and external collaborators.

Primary responsibilities will include:

Project planning, implementation, and milestone management

• Develop and maintain project timelines, milestone trackers, work plans, meeting schedules, deliverable logs, and action-item trackers. Monitor progress across study aims and participating sites, identify delays or operational risks, and communicate concerns and recommend next steps promptly to Dr. Pruinelli.

Multisite coordination, meetings, and communication

• Coordinate day-to-day project activities among the University of Florida, the University of Minnesota, the Cleveland Clinic, consultants, advisory groups, and other external collaborators.
