Research Project Manager - Sarcoma

Job Description

Job ID:
33023

Location:
450 Brookline Ave, Boston, MA 02215

Category:
Clinical Research

Employment Type:
Full time

Work Location:
PTL Remote: 2-3 days remote/wk

Overview

The Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) Project Manager will support LMS focused research within the Sarcoma Center at DFCI, including a new collaboration between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Count Me In (CMI), a non-profit cancer research initiative, with the goal of improving early detection of a rare form of uterine cancer called leiomyosarcoma. This project is planned to assess how radiologists reading MRI scans may discern whether a uterine growth could represent a benign uterine growth (fibroid) or potentially a cancerous uterine leiomyosarcoma. Distinguishing leiomyosarcoma from more common and benign fibroids can be life saving. Additional LMS focused research is also within the scope of this position as the research portfolio develops.

The LMS Project Manager will interface with teams both internal and external to  Dana-Farber to support the operations of the projects throughout its life cycle. This may include responsibilities such ensuring collection of MRIs performed on women  with uterine leiomyosarcoma and interfacing with the imaging core lab to collect deidentified cases, assist in the development of the cadre of independent radiology reviewers and assist with additional research activities.

This position is 2-3 days remote. Only applicants living in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or New Hampshire at the time of employment will be considered. Candidates must have the ability to work from our Boston, MA office for onsite days.
