Clinical Research Associate Jobs in New Jersey

Clinical Research Coordinator, 2+ years experience required – Full-Time, On-Site at our Pennington, NJ or Philadelphia, PA office

We are hiring coordinators for both of our offices, Pennington, NJ and Philadelphia, PA. Apply once and tell us which office you can get to; we will place you where you fit and where the need is.

This is a hands-on coordinator job for someone who has already done it. You need at least two years of experience as a Clinical Research Coordinator at a U.S. research site, you need to be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship, and you need to be able to work in person every workday at one of our two offices. If that's you, keep reading. If not, this isn't the role for you, and we'd rather say so up front than waste your time.

Clinical Research Philadelphia (CRP) has been running clinical trials for nearly 30 years, more than 500 of them, for many of the largest pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Our Philadelphia office runs studies in cardio-metabolic disease, liver disease, immunology, women's health, and Alzheimer's, and our Pennington office runs studies in cardiology, dermatology, and migraine. Both are growing. We are a technology-forward site: electronic source, CRIO, sponsor EDC systems, and workflows built so coordinators spend their time with patients instead of paper. Learn more at www.phillyresearch.com.

You'll own your own studies at whichever office you're placed in. That means your patients, your visits, your data entry the same day, your queries answered. You'll work alongside the other coordinators at your office, our principal investigators, and our lab and operations teams, with support from the other office, but the studies you're assigned are yours.

What you'd do

• Run study visits start to finish for the studies you own: screening, consent, vitals, ECGs, blood draws, specimen processing and shipping, and prepping patients for the investigator
• Enter source and EDC data the same day as the visit, and answer sponsor and CRO queries yourself, promptly
• Keep your studies inspection-ready: regulatory binders, drug accountability, temperature logs, training records
• Work directly with monitors during visits and close out their findings
• Schedule and remind your patients, and build the kind of relationship that keeps them coming back for every visit
• Report adverse events correctly and on time, and flag out-of-range labs to the investigator
• Help recruit: phone screens, pre-screening from referrals, and occasional community events near your office
• Work from the office your studies are run from. We will tell you which office before we make an offer

Must-haves (we will ask about every one of these before an interview)

• At least 2 years as a Clinical Research Coordinator at a research site in the United States. Experience only outside the U.S., in a lab, in data analysis, or in a regulatory-only role does not count toward this. Time as a research assistant or clinical trial assistant counts for half.
• Authorized to work in the United States now and in the future without employer sponsorship. We do not sponsor visas, and we cannot make exceptions.
• Lives within a reasonable daily drive of at least one of our offices and has reliable transportation. For Pennington, NJ, that means Mercer, Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, or Burlington County, NJ, or Bucks County, PA; Pennington is not on a train line. For Philadelphia, PA (Northeast Philadelphia, 19114), that means Philadelphia, Bucks, or Montgomery County, PA, or Burlington County, NJ. We do not offer relocation assistance, and we will ask where you live now.
• Able to work in person every workday at the office you're placed in. This is not a hybrid or remote role. Some days start around 6:30 to 7:00 AM for fasting visits.
• Hands-on with study technology. You have entered data in an EDC system, used sponsor portals, and worked from electronic source. Experience with CRIO is a plus.
• Planning to stay. We invest heavily in training and want someone who sees themselves here for at least two years.
• A resume that shows all of the above. Applications without a resume are not reviewed.

This is a coordinator position. If you are a physician, pharmacist, or PhD looking for a senior research or leadership role, this job will not be the right fit and the pay will not match your expectations.

Strongly preferred

• Phlebotomy. You draw blood confidently, including on difficult sticks, and can process and ship specimens. A certification is nice; regular practice matters more. We will ask you to describe your last month of draws.
• Spanish. Enough to consent a patient and walk them through a visit in Spanish, not just greet them. Both offices serve Spanish-speaking communities and we are actively recruiting Spanish-speaking patients. We will do part of the interview in Spanish if you list it.
• Experience with CRIO
• Cardiology, cardio-metabolic, liver, dermatology, immunology, or migraine study experience
• Bachelor's degree in a health or science field, or a clinical background (MA, LPN, RN, EMT)
• ACRP or SoCRA certification

Pay, schedule, and how to apply

Pay: Competitive, based on experience; discussed during the interview. Exceptional candidates may be offered a signing bonus tied to a two-year retention agreement.

Benefits: Health, dental, and vision insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, 401(k), ongoing training, and a clear path to senior coordinator.

Schedule: Full-time, Monday to Friday, on-site at our Pennington, NJ or Philadelphia, PA office. Occasional early starts around 6:30 AM for fasting visits.

To apply: Submit your resume on Indeed, answer the screening questions, and tell us which office you can commute to. Applications without a resume, or with the screening questions left blank, are not reviewed. If you move forward, we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire and a 30-minute protocol reading exercise before the interview.
