About the role
We're looking for a detail-oriented Participant Coordinator to manage the logistics of bringing study participants on site. Our researcher conducts all hands-on experimentation; this role keeps the participant pipeline moving behind the scenes - identifying candidates, reaching out, and scheduling their visits. It is a part-time, fully remote contractor position of roughly 10 hours per week, with no in-person presence required.
Responsibilities
- Review and search a participant database to identify candidates who meet study eligibility criteria.
- Reach out to prospective participants by email, phone, or text to gauge interest and confirm fit.
- Schedule and coordinate on-site visits, aligning participant availability with the research calendar.
- Send reminders, confirmations, and any pre-visit instructions to keep no-shows low.
- Track participant status, communications, and scheduling in a shared system, and keep records accurate and up to date.
- Serve as the friendly point of contact for participant questions leading up to their visit.
- Flag scheduling gaps or recruitment shortfalls early so the team can adjust.
Requirements
- Strong organizational skills and reliable follow-through on administrative tasks with minimal oversight.
- Clear, warm, and professional written and verbal communication - you'll be the first impression for many participants.
- Comfort working with databases, spreadsheets, scheduling tools, and email.
- Discretion and care in handling sensitive personal and health-related information.
- Ability to work independently and manage your own time within a ~10 hour/week commitment.
- Prior experience in clinical research coordination, participant recruitment, or a study/lab setting.
- Familiarity with human-subjects research practices or IRB processes.
