Translational Research Program Manager
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. 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. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. Thus we need to parse the posting and extract sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have real content. From posting: - University Overview: generic about employer, not specific to role. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is about the job, not the employer. The posting includes "Job Description Summary" and "Job Description". So we could put that under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We need to decide which sections to include. We have: Job Description Summary: Provides leadership for large and complex clinical research projects, guiding study strategy and operations across multiple sites both domestic and international. Oversees project design, documentation, and compliance, and ensures quality data collection and reporting. Supervises project teams, manages grants and budgets, and leads dissemination of study results through publications and presentations. Builds collaborations with external partners and funding agencies. Job Description: Searching for an applicant interested in the development and execution of innovative translational research programs focused on Long COVID, complex fatiguing and post-viral syndromes, and human immunology. This position will serve as a bridge between clinical research, patient-facing studies, and laboratory-based scientific investigations. The successful candidate will manage clinical research studies and clinical trials, including participant recruitment, study implementation, sample collection, and data management. The individual will work closely with physicians, scientists, research coordinators, and laboratory personnel to establish and maintain patient cohorts, facilitate biospecimen collection and processing, and support collaborations across multiple research teams. The individual will also manage and supervise Clinical Research Coordinators supporting these studies and provide oversight of day-to-day research operations. Responsibilities include managing clinical trials, assisting the principal investigator(s) with IRB and regulatory processes, developing study protocols, maintaining research databases, supporting participant visits, coordinating biospecimen collection and storage, and facilitating communication between clinical and laboratory teams. The position offers opportunities to contribute to scientific publications, developing and executing immune analyses, and the design of novel translational research initiatives. The individual will identify and pursue new grant opportunities and help develop new research collaborations and projects. This role provides a unique opportunity to gain experience across the full spectrum of translational research, from patient care and clinical trial operations to biomarker discovery and immune profiling, while working within a collaborative multidisciplinary research environment. Thus responsibilities are detailed. Preferred Qualifications: Master's degree or higher in biology, immunology, clinical research, neuroscience, public health, or a related field. Experience managing clinical research studies or clinical trials. Experience working with human biospecimens and clinical research databases (e.g., REDCap). Must have interest in translational research, immunology, or complex chronic diseases. Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment. Experience with scientific writing, presentations, or grant development is a plus. Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree with 7-10 years of related experience or equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Master's degree and 5-7 years of experience preferred. Position is contingent upon continued funding. Then there is a block: "Provide administrative leadership for departmental research activities and support team members.Incumbent is responsible for hiring, supervising and managing research coordinators.Develop, plan and organize all aspects of study protocols, training, supervising and participating with researchers to collect dataCreate and oversee operational procedures for data managementCreate data visualizations and reports on research findingsAssist the principal investigator(s) with IRB and regulatory process and grant proposals.Other duties and responsibilities as assigned Department / School Perelman School of Medicine". This seems like more responsibilities. Pay Range: $91,066.00 - $107,346.00 Annual Rate Salary offers are made based on the candidate’s qualifications, experience, skills, and education as they directly relate to the requirements of the position, and in alignment with salary ranges based on external market data for the job’s level. Internal organization and peer data at Penn are also considered. Benefits: University Benefits section with details. Schedule: Not mentioned. Thus we have sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine Preferred Qualifications and Qualifications?), Skills (maybe from preferred qualifications?), Benefits, Pay. We need to avoid duplication. We should combine similar content. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include everything from the posting except boilerplate (EEO, background check, etc). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output HTML with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We need to decide which headings to use.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could include Job Description Summary and maybe the introductory paragraph about bridging clinical research etc. But that is also responsibilities. Perhaps we put the summary under About the role, and then Responsibilities as a list.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications: include both required and preferred qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills like organizational, communication, problem-solving, ability to work independently/collaboratively, scientific writing, presentations, grant development.
- Benefits: list of benefits.
- Pay: include pay range.
- Schedule: not present, so omit.
We must not create sections with filler text. So only include sections where we have real content.
Thus we will output:

This role provides a unique opportunity to gain experience across the full spectrum of translational research, from patient care and clinical trial operations to biomarker discovery and immune profiling, while working within a collaborative multidisciplinary research environment.
But that seems to duplicate a lot. Maybe better to split: About the role short summary, Responsibilities list.
Let's extract a concise About the role: maybe the Job Description Summary plus the bridging statement.
But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we split, we need to ensure we don't lose any info. We can put the summary in About the role, and then responsibilities list includes all duties.
Thus About the role: Provide leadership for large and complex clinical research projects, guiding study strategy and operations across multiple sites both domestic and international. Oversees project design, documentation, and compliance, and ensures quality data collection and reporting. Supervises project teams, manages grants and budgets, and leads dissemination of study results through publications and presentations. Builds collaborations with external partners and funding agencies. This position will serve as a bridge between clinical research, patient-facing studies, and laboratory-based scientific investigations.
That captures summary and bridging.
Then Responsibilities: list all duties from the Job Description and the extra block.
Let's compile responsibilities list:
- Manage clinical research studies and clinical trials, including participant recruitment, study implementation, sample collection, and data management.
- Work closely with physicians, scientists, research coordinators, and laboratory personnel to establish and maintain patient cohorts.
- Facilitate biospecimen collection and processing.
- Support collaborations across multiple research teams.
- Manage and supervise Clinical Research Coordinators supporting these studies.
- Provide oversight of day-to-day research operations.

- Facilitate communication between clinical and laboratory teams.
- Contribute to scientific publications.
- Develop and execute immune analyses.
- Design novel translational research initiatives.
- Identify and pursue new grant opportunities.
- Help develop new research collaborations and projects.
- Gain experience across the full spectrum of translational research, from patient care and clinical trial operations to biomarker discovery and immune profiling (maybe this is more of a benefit, but it's part of role).
- Provide administrative leadership for departmental research activities and support team members.
- Incumbent is responsible for hiring, supervising and managing research coordinators.
- Develop, plan and organize all aspects of study protocols, training, supervising and participating with researchers to collect data.
- Create and oversee operational procedures for data management.
- Create data visualizations and reports on research findings.
- Assist the principal investigator(s) with IRB and regulatory process and grant proposals.
- Other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
We need to avoid duplication: some items repeat (manage clinical trials appears twice). We'll deduplicate.
Now Qualifications: combine required and preferred.
Required: Bachelor's Degree with 7-10 years of related experience or equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Master's degree and 5-7 years of experience preferred. Position is contingent upon continued funding.
Preferred: Master's degree or higher in biology, immunology, clinical research, neuroscience, public health, or a related field. Experience managing clinical research studies or clinical trials. Experience working with human biospecimens and clinical research databases (e.g., REDCap). Must have interest in translational research, immunology, or complex chronic diseases. Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment. Experience with scientific writing, presentations, or grant development is a plus.
We could separate into Qualifications (required) and Skills (preferred). But the instruction says we can have Skills section. Let's put Qualifications for required education/experience, and Skills for the preferred skills.
Thus:
Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree with 7-10 years of related experience or equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Master's degree and 5-7 years of experience preferred.
- Position is contingent upon continued funding.
- .
But also we might include that Master's degree or higher in specific fields is preferred; but that could go under Skills or Preferences. However we need to preserve all substantive info. So we could include a separate section for Preferred Qualifications, but the instruction only lists certain headings; we could use "Qualifications" for both required and preferred, but we might also have a "Skills" section for skills like organizational, communication, etc.
Better: Use "Qualifications" for education
