Research Coordinator Jobs in Alaska: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a research coordinator in Alaska?

Most Alaska employers require a bachelor's degree in a health, science, or social science field as the starting point. Alaska does not issue a state license specifically for research coordinators, but many positions prefer or require the Certified Clinical Research Coordinator credential from the Society of Clinical Research Associates or an equivalent certification. Large hiring institutions like the University of Alaska and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium typically look for candidates with IRB training and hands-on data management experience.

Which companies hire research coordinators in Alaska?

Alaska research coordinator roles are posted by State of Alaska, University of Alaska, and IRS and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Research and healthcare institutions tied to Alaska's university system, tribal health networks, and federal agencies are among the most consistent sources of openings statewide.

Which Alaska cities have the most research coordinator jobs?

Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks have the most research coordinator openings in Alaska. Anchorage dominates because it hosts the state's largest hospital systems, tribal health organizations, and federal agency offices, while Fairbanks draws openings through the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Arctic research programs, and Juneau adds state government and public health positions.

Are there remote research coordinator jobs in Alaska?

Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical fields, since many research coordinator duties involve on-site participant contact, specimen handling, or in-person IRB compliance work. About 17% of research coordinator openings tied to Alaska are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, which tends to reflect roles focused on data management, grant coordination, or administrative oversight rather than direct study operations.

How can I get hired as a research coordinator in Alaska with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for research assistant or study assistant roles at the University of Alaska system, where undergraduate and post-baccalaureate positions regularly open and require no prior coordinator experience. Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium and state public health offices also hire community health workers and data entry associates who can move laterally into coordinator roles. Completing a CITI Program certification in human subjects research and gaining experience with REDCap or similar data platforms gives candidates a concrete edge over other applicants with equivalent education.

Where can I find and apply to research coordinator jobs in Alaska?
