The Stanford Accelerator for Learning focuses on learning challenges most in need of new discoveries, evidence, and solutions and where we believe Stanford can make the most difference. Those include: adult & workforce learning, digital learning, early childhood education and development, equity in learning, learning differences, and policy & systems change.
The Stanford Center on Early Childhood (SCEC) is an initiative of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. The SCEC leverages the current moment of revolutionary science and fosters deep omnidirectional collaboration across sectors, seeking to change the way that research in early childhood is conducted, communicated, and utilized, with the overarching goal that each and every child thrives from the start.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Stanford Center on Early Childhood seeks a full-time Research Coordinator to support in recruiting new mothers to participate in our study. The evaluation seeks to determine if coordinating systems or providing a Guaranteed Basic Income for mothers improves long-term outcomes, both in health and early childhood development, in comparison to the standard of care received as a MediCal patient in San Mateo County. Under direct supervision of Dr. Ryan Padrez at the School of Medicine, and in close collaboration with the Baby Bonus and San Mateo County Program Manager at the Stanford Center on Early Childhood, the Research Coordinator will recruit participants at Stanford’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospita l by determining the eligibility of mothers for the study, explaining the study to interested candidates, and enrolling consenting participants. Research Coordinators will randomize patients into one of three cohorts, and coordinate with Community Health Workers to ensure patients are connected to appropriate resources and support for the Coordinate Care portion of the evaluation. Following protocol guidelines, Research Coordinators will conduct surveys using RedCap with patients both in the hospital and throughout the study, documenting study materials and communications within appropriate systems, conduct qualitative interviews, and review survey answers.
The Research Coordinator will contribute to writing reports and documentation, and conduct literature reviews to understand the current landscape of Guaranteed Basic Income Pilots and Care Coordination when necessary. They will manage project tasks while maintaining open and transparent communication with the Baby Bonus/SMC Program Manager. We encourage candidates with diverse experience and backgrounds to apply. The ideal candidate should be personable, compassionate, and able to connect with the mothers in the study during a pivotal time in their lives.
To meet the needs of these mothers and the schedule of the Lucile Packard Children’s Nursery, ideal recruitment times will primarily be between 4:00 pm-7:00 pm, therefore this position will require evening and/or weekend availability. We are looking to hire 2-3 Research Coordinators, who would foster a collaborative and supportive team environment, working staggered schedules to ensure recruitment 7 days a week. Schedules may vary between 11:00 am-7:00 pm and 12:00-8:00 pm, with Research Coordinators supporting each other and covering needed shifts to maintain coverage and optimize recruitment times. This position does not have any direct supervision responsibilities. Your primary responsibilities will include:
● Plan and perform research tasks requiring initiative and judgment by applying basic knowledge and understanding of scientific theory when precedents do not provide specific guidance. General instruction is provided by the supervisor as needed. May interpret study results in collaboration with supervisor or PI.
