Why

This is a journey-level Clinical Research Coordinator role at UCSF, a top employer in San Francisco, and it is paid. It is above her level, because it expects independent management of research protocols and usually 1+ years of clinical research experience. She has no lab or clinical research assistant experience and no IRB or GCP exposure. It is probably full-time with an immediate start, so it does not fit her senior-year timing. Her research methods coursework and documentation skills are relevant, but they are not enough to compete. A UCSF Clinical Research Assistant or Volunteer Research Associate role would be a better entry point.

Watch out for

• Journey-level CRC role: typically requires prior clinical research experience, which she lacks
• Aggregator salary of about $111k looks inconsistent with a UCSF CRC pay band and may be an estimate
• Pediatric critical care setting likely requires clinical environment experience and compliance training (IRB/GCP, consenting families)
• Likely a full-time role with an immediate start, which does not fit before May 2027
• Description is truncated, so the full requirements are unclear

Resume angles

• Research Methods coursework and the literature review in Writing in Psychology
• Accurate documentation and daily Excel tracking across three locations at Kiddleton
• Confidentiality and discretion with sensitive information, plus customer-facing service with families and children
