Requirements

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Research Project Coordinator is a core member of the Research Support Team, responsible for coordinating the onsite participant experience and maintaining secure, compliant movement through research facilities.

This role is focused on participant hospitality, onsite coordination, facility access management, and supporting a safe, organized and compliant research environment.  Because research activities may involve confidential, unreleased technology and sensitive participant activity, this role plays a critical part in ensuring that non-disclosure agreement protocols, identification, device handling expectations, privacy standards, and onsite study logistics are followed consistently and professionally.

KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

Participant Hospitality & Onsite Experience

• Serve as the primary welcoming point of contact for external study participants arriving at research facilities.
• Manage participant check-in, arrival readiness, wayfinding, and onsite communication to create a calm, organized, and professional experience.
• Escort participants from building lobby or designated arrival areas into approved secure lab spaces and safely escort them out at the conclusion of the study.
• Ensure participants understand onsite expectations, timing, logistics, and next steps before, during, and after their research session.
