Study Coordinator
About the role
Run human-subjects recording sessions end-to-end: participant prep and fitting, sensor configuration and calibration, stimulus delivery, real-time signal monitoring, and session documentation.
Own daily system QC for a one-of-a-kind sensing instrument: baseline noise recordings, per-sensor health checks, log review, and escalation of anomalies before they touch a dataset.
Own participant operations: recruitment coordination, scheduling, screening, consent, and compliant handling of participant records.
Stand up and maintain the operational backbone of the program: SOPs for acquisition, QC, and participant workflows — documentation that survives you.
Handle first-pass data operations: file conversion, organization, metadata, and quality review in Python.
Partner daily with the program lead to refine acquisition protocols and improve system performance over time.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience acquiring physiological or imaging data from human participants in a clinical or research setting
- Obsessive consistency and attention to detail: you notice when something is off and you don't let it slide
- Professional, patient, and calm with research participants — sessions succeed or fail on how people feel in the room
- Basic scripting ability (Python and/or shell) for QC and data-handling tasks, or clear aptitude and motivation to build it
- High ownership of the unglamorous parts: scheduling, documentation, tidy data hygiene
- Discretion — parts of this program are not yet public
Skills
- Controlled or low-noise recording environments and highly sensitive instrumentation
- Physiological signal-processing tools in Python
- Human-subjects research administration (IRB protocols, consent workflows)
- Research studies involving structured tasks or sensory protocols with human participants
