[Hiring] Research Associate @CancerNavigator

Role Description

The number one priority of a research associate is to produce high-quality research that will help patients understand crucial information in their hour of need. Research Associates support the following efforts:

• Creating Custom Documents for Patients:
  • The Patient Service Team’s mandate is to help cancer patients make decisions in this difficult hour of need, and our mechanism for serving patients is education.
  • The primary responsibility for a researcher on our team is to create excellent tailored documents for patients.
  • Collaborate with our oncology nurse navigators to teach each patient what they need to know about their specific situation.
  • This is an “on-demand” function – when patients need help, our entire team jumps into action.
• Enhancing Our Research Base:
  • Our team has spent over five years building a deep research foundation on nearly every cancer type and subtype.
  • The cancer landscape is continually evolving, and our research base requires updating regularly to reflect changes in diagnostics, treatment protocols, techniques, and more.
  • A central function of a research associate is to assist in the enhancement of our core research base by identifying gaps in our research as we serve patients.
  • Occasionally performing research “deep dives” to fill in those gaps.
