The candidate should also be willing to do the hard work to build and manage large, multi-stakeholder projects, skilled at adopting and implementing new technologies, and motivated to meet milestones and other success metrics.

In this role, the Project Manager will be responsible for strategic development and maintenance of an infrastructure supporting an integrated research program spanning aspects of diagnosis, clinical care, sample processing, and coordinated data generation and dissemination for both research and clinical activities. This position needs a flexible individual capable of managing emerging priorities and working in a collaborative environment.
