Clinical Research Coordinator Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical research coordinator in Texas?
Most clinical research coordinators in Texas enter the field with a bachelor's degree in a life science, nursing, or public health discipline, then pursue certification through the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) or the Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA). Texas does not require a state-issued license specific to this role, but ACRP's CCRC and SOCRA's CCRP credentials are widely expected by major Texas health systems and research universities when competing for coordinator positions.
How much do clinical research coordinators make in Texas?
Clinical research coordinators in Texas earn a median of about $129,960 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,200 for the lowest 10% to over $213,280 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical research coordinators in Texas?
Employers hiring clinical research coordinators in Texas right now include UT Southwestern Medical Center, Iterative Health, and Pinnacle Clinical Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of NCI-designated cancer centers, large academic medical centers, and pharmaceutical contract research organizations keeps demand for coordinators consistently strong across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most clinical research coordinator jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most clinical research coordinator openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense cluster of medical institutions anchored by the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, while Dallas and San Antonio draw demand through major academic health systems, VA research programs, and a growing number of CRO regional offices.
Are there remote clinical research coordinator jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're limited. Clinical research coordination is largely site-based because it requires direct patient contact, specimen handling, and on-site regulatory oversight. About 0% of clinical research coordinator openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to involve data management, regulatory document review, or sponsor-facing coordination rather than hands-on trial activities.
How can I get hired as a clinical research coordinator in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a clinical research assistant or research associate role at a large Texas academic medical center, which serves as a direct pipeline into coordinator positions. MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Southwestern, and Baylor Scott and White Health all post entry-level research positions that do not require prior trial experience. Candidates coming from adjacent roles such as medical assistant, phlebotomist, or clinical data abstractor have a strong footing. Completing the ACRP entry-level certificate program before applying gives applicants a concrete credential that signals GCP knowledge to Texas hiring managers.
