PRN Clinical Research Technician, Early Phase Clinical Research - Dallas, TX

About the Role

As one of the largest Clinical Research Organizations in the world, we have four Early Phase Clinical Research Units in the UK and US. We are currently seeking a Clinical Research Technician to interact directly with our healthy volunteer participants while learning to read clinical research protocols and enjoy working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. Each day is different, exposing you to a wide variety of therapeutic indications and study types (ascending dose, first-in-human, food effect, drug-to-drug interactions, etc.).

This is a PRN, on-site position in Dallas, TX, with hours based on study needs, including early mornings, extended hours, and weekends. You will work with some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies in a vital stage of clinical development: establishing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a new drug. While this role does not involve direct patient care, you will have a close face-to-face relationship with participants and witness the development of medical technologies and treatments firsthand. When a drug you worked with gets approved, you’ll know you’ve touched many patients' lives around the world.

Please note: This role requires experience with taking vitals, blood draws, and ECGs.
