We are Hiring
Director, Science Policy and Advocacy
The development of lifesaving vaccines and treatments for infectious diseases is increasingly hindered by the surging cost and difficulty of generating high-quality evidence in humans through clinical trials. 1Day Sooner is working to change that through “Clinical Trial Abundance (CTA),” a national advocacy campaign to reduce the cost of health evidence and extract more value from the evidence we have. As Director, Science Policy and Advocacy, you will lead the CTA program and drive progress toward policy change through legislative vehicles such as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, as well as regulatory rulemaking and guidance.
Director of Clinical Trials
1Day Sooner advances trials, technologies, and policies by representing people who participate in medical studies to fight infectious disease. Our Cooperative Participant Organization (CPO) supports the world’s most impactful trials and those who want to participate in them. We’re supporting study teams and initiatives at major universities across the globe including University of Oxford, Johns Hopkins University, and Malawi Liverpool Wellcome including work on Shigella, hepatitis C, and tuberculosis. The Director of Clinical Trials will set the program’s strategy and scope, ensure the success of its collaborations, and lead a team of 2–3.
Clinical Operations Lead
Our Cooperative Participant Organization (CPO) is running a household-scale study of Far-UVC light for infection prevention: 100 households over six months in a test of whether this technology is suitable for self-installed, domestic use and as a pilot for future larger trials. This new role, Clinical Operations Lead, will own that study end to end from stakeholder engagement to clinical operations to result dissemination. Beyond the Far-UVC study, you’ll have the opportunity to support up to 3 external collaborators running trials under the CPO’s framework and help to build internal infrastructure to allow the CPO to scale over time.
Research Fellow, Clinical Trial Abundance
We are launching the 1Day Sooner Research Fellowship, a two-year program for people beginning a career in clinical research and policy, including those pivoting from another field. Fellows work as full members of one of our teams, contributing directly to organizational priorities. This posting is for a fellow on our Clinical Trial Abundance (CTA) team, which works to reform the clinical trial ecosystem to accelerate medical progress through innovative trial design, greater data generation and transparency, and reduced regulatory burden.
Project Lead — CTD Commons
CTD Commons is a new effort to build the first open-access library of Common Technical Documents (CTDs), the regulatory dossiers submitted to the FDA by drug sponsors. CTD Commons aims to preserve and publish CTDs from failed drug development efforts as a public good. The project lead’s objective is to lead CTD Commons through its initial planning period, and create the momentum and proof points needed for a successful public launch.
How We Hire
The full hiring process for roles at 1Day Sooner generally involves:
- Submitting a resume and cover letter
- An initial remote interview
- Further remote interviews with additional team members
- Invitation to take a paid-by-hour work trial to simulate the work you would do if hired and/or evaluate certain skills important for success in the role
- All of our work tests are created “in house” and closely resemble actual work done by staff
- Reference checks
- A final employment offer
When we make an offer to a candidate, our offer includes a trial period of up to four months. We generally hope to make a long-term offer by the two month mark, but if we don’t, we offer two additional months of employment (in effect, as severance). Employees receive full benefits during the trial period. Out of all staff who have been hired with a trial period, 80% have remained past the trial period, 10% chose to leave during the trial period, and 10% were not retained past the trial period.
Consistent with federal, state, and local law, we are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, veteran status, or other protected category.
