Clinical Research Coordinator II
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
Content includes:
- Intro: "WHY UT SOUTHWESTERN? ..." describing organization, benefits, etc. Could be "About the role"? Not exactly. Could be "About UT Southwestern"? Not in allowed headings list, but we can use any heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate, but we could also use other headings? Probably we should stick to those. The "WHY UT SOUTHWESTERN?" could be considered "About the role"? Not really. Could be "About the organization" but not listed. Maybe we can treat it as part of a summary paragraph before sections.
Then we have "Job Summary" paragraph describing role.
Then "Key responsibilities include ..." which is a list of duties.
Then "Ideal Candidate Qualifications" bullet list.
Then "Benefits" section with list.
Then "Required EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION" with education, experience, preferred licenses.
Then "Job Duties" which is a long list of duties (maybe duplicate of responsibilities). We need to preserve all substantive info, but avoid duplication. The posting includes both "Key responsibilities" and "Job Duties" sections; they may overlap but we should include all distinct info. However we must avoid duplicated lines. We'll need to parse and combine.
We also have "SECURITY AND EEO STATEMENT" which is boilerplate to remove.
Also "Primary Location", "Work Locations", "Job Research & Laboratory Organization", etc. Those are metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location info in a paragraph.
We should not include Pay or Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. The posting does not mention pay or schedule specifics (only says Full-time Shift Day). That is schedule info: "Schedule Full-time Shift Day". That is schedule info. Should we include a Schedule section? The posting states schedule: Full-time Shift Day. That's specific. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. However the instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule, so we can include Schedule.
Pay: not stated, so omit.
Benefits: stated, include.
Now we need to decide headings: Possibly:
- About the role (maybe include the WHY UT SOUTHWESTERN? and Job Summary? Could be combined.)
But we could also have:
- About the role (intro about organization and role summary)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Qualifications (ideal candidate qualifications + required experience/education)
- Benefits
- Schedule
We must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections.
We could combine Qualifications and Requirements into one section called "Qualifications". Or we could have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" separate but that may be thin. Better to combine.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need to use
for prose.
We must not repeat the job title as a heading.
We must output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
First, intro: "WHY UT SOUTHWESTERN? With over 75 years of excellence in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, UT Southwestern is committed to excellence, innovation, teamwork, and compassion. As a world-renowned medical and research center, we strive to provide the best possible care, resources, and benefits for our valued employees.

Our highly competitive benefits package offers healthcare, PTO and paid holidays, on-site childcare, wage, merit increases and so much more. We invite you to be a part of the UT Southwestern team where you'll discover a culture of teamwork, professionalism, and a rewarding career!"
That's prose.
Then "Job Summary Works under the direction of an Investigator(s) with limited supervision, to coordinate research projects. This position primarily performs patient/participant coordination, however, may conduct data management in smaller departments on as needed basis. Collects and ensures quality control of clinical or basic research data in support of multiple and/or complex research studies. The Clinical Research Coordinator II supports and coordinates a wide range of clinical research activities to ensure compliance with study protocols, regulatory requirements, and institutional guidelines. This role is responsible for maintaining accurate documentation of clinical research activities, including site communications, correspondence, inventory records, and study-related documentation. Key responsibilities include coordinating and managing clinical trial supplies, tracking shipments to study sites and warehouses, and overseeing vendor relationships related to trial materials. The coordinator assists with the collection, processing, labeling, storage, and shipment of biological specimens, including blood, urine, tissue, and other samples, in accordance with study protocols and local, federal, and IATA regulations. Additional duties include reconciling shipment billing, coordinating sample procurement, maintaining specimen integrity, and ensuring timely distribution to clinical and research laboratories. The Clinical Research Coordinator II may also train laboratory staff on research techniques, procedures, and equipment, assist principal investigators and research teams with the preparation of reports, manuscripts, and publications, and perform other research-related duties as assigned."
That's prose (some bullet-like but it's sentences). We'll keep as paragraph.
Then "Ideal Candidate Qualifications The ideal candidate will possess: Exceptional, established experience coordinating clinical research studies involving human participantsStrong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teamsExperience using REDCap and Epic systemsComfort handling and processing biological specimens, including bodily fluids and tissue samplesStrong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced research environmentKnowledge of clinical research regulations, study protocols, and specimen handling best practices preferred"
That's a list but currently no bullet markers. We'll convert to
- items.
Then "Benefits UT Southwestern is proud to offer a competitive and comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees. Our benefits are designed to support your overall wellbeing, and include: PPO medical plan, available day one at no cost for full-time employee-only coverage100% coverage for preventive healthcare-no copayPaid Time Off, available day oneRetirement Programs through the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS)Paid Parental Leave BenefitWellness programsTuition ReimbursementPublic Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Qualified EmployerLearn more about these and other UTSW employee benefits!"
We need to split into list items.
Then "Required EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION Education Bachelor's Degree in medical or science related field Experience 2 years years clinical research experience. May consider additional years of experience or advanced degree in lieu of education or experience, respectively. Preferred Licenses and Certifications (BLS) BASIC LIFE SUPPORT may be required based on research study protocols or affiliate location requirements. (CPRAED) CPR AED may be required based on research study protocols or affiliate location requirements. ACRP or SOCRA certification a plus."
We'll parse.
Then "Job Duties Directly interacts with clinical research participants, as required, for the research study (non-clinical and clinical procedures). Interacts via telephone, telehealth or in-person.Coordinates regulatory documentation for research studies that includes maintaining information to comply with industry standards, University policies, FDA requirements or other hospital policies.Coordinates and schedules procedures as per research study. A non-licensed coordinator may pend study order sets with oversight by PI.Screens, recruits, enrolls and follows subjects according to research protocol guidelines (non-clinical and clinical procedures).

Performs other duties as assigned."
That's a long list; we can treat as
- items.
We need to avoid duplication with earlier "Key responsibilities". Many items overlap. We should combine unique items.
Better approach: create a single Responsibilities section that merges the key responsibilities and job duties, removing duplicates.
Let's list distinct responsibilities from both sections.
From "Key responsibilities include": (the sentence after that includes list)
- coordinating and managing clinical trial supplies
- tracking shipments to study sites and warehouses
- overseeing vendor relationships related to trial materials
- assisting with the collection, processing, labeling, storage, and shipment of biological specimens, including blood, urine, tissue, and other samples, in accordance with study protocols and local, federal, and IATA regulations
- reconciling shipment billing
- coordinating sample procurement
- maintaining specimen integrity
- ensuring timely distribution to clinical and research laboratories
- training laboratory staff on research techniques, procedures, and equipment
- assisting principal investigators and research teams with the preparation of reports, manuscripts, and publications
- performing other research-related duties as assigned
From "Job Duties" list (split by periods):
