Entry Level Clinical Research Coordinator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level clinical research coordinator job?
Entry level clinical research coordinator roles typically look for candidates with a bachelor's degree in a life sciences field, plus any hands-on exposure to clinical trials, whether through an internship, research assistant role, or volunteer work at a hospital or university lab. Familiarity with Good Clinical Practice guidelines, attention to detail in data entry, and experience with regulatory documentation all give candidates a real edge at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level clinical research coordinators?
Companies hiring entry level clinical research coordinators right now include Medpace, Washington University in St. Louis, and Inova Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. At this level, hiring covers academic medical centers, contract research organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital systems, all of which regularly onboard candidates with limited prior experience.
Are there remote entry level clinical research coordinator jobs?
Yes, though most clinical research coordinator roles at the entry level involve some on-site or in-person work. About 19% of entry level clinical research coordinator openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically focus on regulatory coordination, data management, or sponsor-facing administrative tasks that can be handled outside a clinical setting.
Are these new grad clinical research coordinator jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior clinical research coordinator roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or research assistant work toward eligibility, or accepts a strong academic portfolio in place of full professional experience. Look for language like 'will train' or 'new graduates encouraged to apply' as clear signals.
Which industries hire the most entry level clinical research coordinators?
Entry Level clinical research coordinator roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because they run ongoing clinical trials and study protocols that require dedicated coordinators to manage participant scheduling, data collection, and regulatory submissions at the site level.
