Additional Job Details (if applicable) Massachusetts General Hospital is seeking a highly organized Research Operations Coordinator to support the day-to-day research operations of investigators in the Center for Integrated Solutions for Infectious Disease. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys making research run well: coordinating people and processes, keeping operational details organized, solving practical problems, and ensuring that follow-up does not get lost. Working closely with faculty, senior scientists, and an internal operations leader, the coordinator will manage multiple recurring and project-based activities across laboratory operations. The role combines project coordination, documentation, purchasing and inventory support, equipment and vendor follow-up, onboarding, and communication across scientific and institutional teams. Who Will Thrive in This Role This role may be especially appealing to someone who has enjoyed hands-on research but is increasingly drawn to the work that makes science possible: anticipating needs, organizing complex details, solving operational problems, keeping people aligned, and building reliable systems around the research. The strongest candidates will combine scientific curiosity with a service-oriented mindset, careful follow-through, and a willingness to take ownership of the practical details that help a laboratory and its projects run effectively.
