Its objective is to promote translational science in the field of immunovirology and vaccinology, by providing state-of-the-art laboratories, biobank facilities, as well as offices and shared meeting spaces intended to host clinicians and fundamental researchers, in order to bridge basic research and clinical applications.

GeTRIV is recruiting a clinical research nurse to work within its team on all projects conducted within GeTRIV.

Job Description

You will participate in studies conducted at GeTRIV. You will mainly work in the Tulip Building (64, avenue de la Roseraie). Home visits or sample collections in other hospitals in the canton of Geneva are also possible.

As part of the studies, you will help identify eligible participants and verify inclusion criteria in collaboration with the study investigators. You will apply the current protocols, participate in meetings, use monitoring tools, and contribute to the training of the various stakeholders involved in the participants’ journey.

You will perform paramedical acts required by the protocol and coordinate the transfer of samples with the laboratories at GeTRIV and HUG. You will also ensure traceability of the different steps in accordance with protocol requirements.

Finally, you will enter data into the study databases, verify their accuracy and consistency, and manage documentation and treatments related to the studies, in collaboration with the GeTRIV team. You will mainly work regular weekday hours. Weekend or evening/night work may occasionally be considered, under terms to be agreed, with compensatory time off during the week, depending on the needs of the various studies.
