Study Nurse (m/f/d) Germany

Job Description

Join Our Mission at the Forefront of Neurological Science

The Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research (ISD), located at the prestigious University Hospital of Munich, is a beacon of innovation in neurological health. Our work, largely supported by foundational funding, bridges the gap between fundamental scientific discovery and life-changing clinical application. We are on a mission to pioneer better methods for preventing, detecting, and treating stroke and dementia. We invite you to become a vital part of this journey, ensuring our clinical trials are conducted with the utmost care, precision, and compassion.

Your Impact on Groundbreaking Research

As a Clinical Trial Coordinator, you will be the compassionate and organized heart of our patient-facing research. You will architect the patient’s journey through our studies, ensuring every step is seamless, from initial screening and enrollment to the meticulous execution of the study protocol. Your role is a unique blend of patient advocacy and scientific rigor. You will be responsible for:

• Patient-Centered Coordination: Acting as the primary point of contact for our study participants, you will manage appointments, plan visits, and provide unwavering support. You will guide them through examinations across the campus, always demonstrating empathy and a deep understanding of the needs of older and medically vulnerable individuals.
• Clinical and Procedural Excellence: Your hands-on responsibilities will include conducting specific examinations such as measuring vital signs, performing phlebotomy, processing biological samples for shipment, administering ECGs, and managing the distribution and tracking of study medications.
• Data Integrity and Compliance: You are the guardian of our research data. You will collect and document critical information in both German and English, meticulously manage databases, and address sponsor queries. Your work will ensure the integrity of our findings by upholding the highest standards of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), a framework essential for ethical and scientific quality in clinical trials, as outlined by regulatory bodies like the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices.
• Collaborative Communication: You will liaise with a multidisciplinary team of physicians, neuropsychologists, and data managers, as well as correspond with external partners to ensure smooth operational flow. Your role is critical in preparing for and assisting with monitor visits, audits, and inspections.

What You Bring to Our Team

• We are seeking a dedicated professional with a strong foundation in patient care and a passion for contributing to medical advancement.
• You have completed training in a medical field and possess a confident command of medical terminology.
• Your experience in patient care, especially within neurology, stroke, or dementia, has given you exceptional empathy and intuition.
• You are a highly independent and organized individual who thrives on managing complex schedules and detailed protocols.
• You communicate with clarity and professionalism in both German (very good) and English (good).
• While a formal certification as a study assistant or study nurse is beneficial, your hands-on experience and intrinsic motivation are what we value most.

A Supportive Environment for Your Career

We believe that our mission’s success depends on the well-being and growth of our team. In return for your expertise and dedication, we offer:

• A dynamic and collaborative role within a modern research environment, where you will work alongside and learn from leading experts.
• A comprehensive and structured training program delivered by experienced colleagues to ensure your success and confidence in all study-specific tasks.
• An excellent work-life balance with regular working hours (full-time or a minimum of 75% part-time) and no weekend or shift duties.
• A secure and competitive compensation package based on the public service collective agreement (TV-L), including all associated benefits. This is initially a two-year position with a strong potential for extension.
