    While the participant is in the 12-week program, the incumbent will conduct regular one-on-one assessments with study participants to review goals and modify the individualized program as needed.

    In addition, the incumbent will lead group sessions at ZSFG that include group exercise and education.

    For SUPeR-FOOD, the incumbent will be responsible for guiding participants through the Food is Medicine program system to help participants overcome barriers to accessing services.

    The incumbent will also assist with adverse event assessment.

    This position will work in conjunction with the study Clinical Research Coordinators, who will be conducting some of the other study specific duties (e.g., informed consent).

    The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.
