Job Description
Join Us at Centricity Research! Centricity Research is one of the largest clinical research networks in North America. We are a fully centralized Integrated Research Organization (IRO) specializing in conducting Phase I-IV clinical trials in over 35 therapeutic areas: inpatient and outpatient; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device trials.
About the role We're looking for a Research Assistant (RA) to support the successful execution of clinical research studies from start to finish. In this role, you'll work closely with Investigators, Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs), and the wider site team to ensure studies run smoothly, safely, and in full compliance with protocol and regulations. This hands-on role is varied-some days you'll recruit and screen participants, other days you'll collect data, process samples, or keep study documentation organized and accurate. Your work will directly contribute to advancing clinical research that makes a difference in patients' lives.
What you'll do Support Study Protocol & Safety - Conduct study activities in compliance with GCP, SOPs, and study protocols.
- Monitor participant safety and well-being throughout their study journey.
- Schedule and conduct study visits, including vitals, ECGs, and other protocol-required assessments.
Recruitment, Screening & Enrollment - Assist with recruitment strategies and outreach efforts to identify eligible participants.
- Screen participants according to inclusion/exclusion criteria.
- Obtain informed consent and maintain accurate documentation.
Study Visit Execution - Perform delegated clinical tasks such as phlebotomy, sample collection and shipping, point-of-care testing, and investigational product accountability.
- Accurately complete source documents, CRFs, queries, and maintain CTMS records.
Data Integrity & Compliance - Collect and report adverse events promptly, including SAEs within required timelines.
- Maintain investigational product inventory, logs, and storage conditions.
- Conduct quality control checks to ensure data accuracy and protocol compliance.
Site & Administrative Support - Prepare for monitoring visits and audits, assist with ISF maintenance, and address follow-up actions.
- Organize exam rooms, labs, storage, and waiting areas as needed.
- Assist with scheduling, participant check-in/out, and front desk coverage (as applicable).
- Participate in company or community outreach events to support recruitment and engagement.
You Might Be a Great Fit If You: - Have a degree in a health, science, or research-related field or equivalent hands-on experience in a healthcare or clinical setting.
- Are comfortable with clinical tools like blood pressure monitors, ECG machines, or point-of-care testing devices (or are eager to learn).
- Have strong attention to detail and can maintain accurate, compliant documentation.
- Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
- Communicate clearly and professionally with participants, colleagues, and external partners.
- Are tech-savvy and comfortable navigating Microsoft Office and clinical data systems.
- Thrive in a team environment but can also work independently.
- Bring a proactive, problem-solving mindset to every challenge.
