Clinical Research Coordinator Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical research coordinator in Colorado?
Most Colorado employers hire clinical research coordinators with a bachelor's degree in a life science, nursing, or health-related field paired with hands-on clinical or research experience. Colorado does not require a state-issued license specific to the coordinator role, but obtaining a nationally recognized credential such as the CCRC from ACRP or the CCRP from SOCRA is strongly preferred and often required at larger academic sites like the Anschutz Medical Campus. Entry-level candidates frequently start as research assistants or clinical trial assistants within hospital systems.
How much do clinical research coordinators make in Colorado?
Clinical research coordinators in Colorado earn a median of about $152,730 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $89,900 for the lowest 10% to over $289,970 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical research coordinators in Colorado?
Colorado clinical research coordinator roles are posted by University of Colorado, AdventHealth Porter, and Medpace and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's concentration of academic medical centers, bioscience companies along the U.S. 36 corridor, and specialty cancer and children's hospitals creates consistent, year-round openings at multiple career levels.
Which Colorado cities have the most clinical research coordinator jobs?
Aurora, Denver, and Basalt have the most clinical research coordinator openings in Colorado right now. Denver and Aurora dominate because the Anschutz Medical Campus, UCHealth, and Children's Hospital Colorado operate major research programs there, while Boulder draws openings through its biotech and pharmaceutical cluster concentrated along the U.S. 36 technology corridor.
Are there remote clinical research coordinator jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're limited. About 15% of clinical research coordinator openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting that most coordinator work requires on-site patient contact, specimen collection, and direct protocol oversight. The portions of the role most likely to be remote are regulatory document management, data entry and query resolution, and sponsor or IRB communication work on decentralized or low-intervention trials.
How can I get hired as a clinical research coordinator in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a clinical research assistant or research coordinator I position within a large Colorado academic health system, which regularly onboard early-career candidates. UCHealth and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus post structured associate coordinator roles that provide GCP training on the job. Candidates coming from adjacent roles such as medical assistant, phlebotomist, or CNA have a strong conversion rate. Completing a GCP certification course before applying and volunteering on an IRB-approved community trial significantly strengthens an application with no formal research background.
Where can I find and apply to clinical research coordinator jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to clinical research coordinator jobs in Colorado directly on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across health systems, research hospitals, and bioscience employers. Search the roles that match your experience and specialty, then apply directly to the ones that fit your background and location.
