Research Coordinator Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a research coordinator in Maryland?
Most research coordinator roles in Maryland require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a life science, nursing, public health, or a closely related field. Maryland does not issue a state-specific research coordinator license, but many employers at academic medical centers and NIH-affiliated institutions expect or strongly prefer the Certified Clinical Research Coordinator credential offered through the Association of Clinical Research Professionals or the Society of Clinical Research Associates.
Which companies hire research coordinators in Maryland?
Companies currently hiring research coordinators in Maryland include Johns Hopkins University, Axle, and Maryland Oncology, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Maryland's concentration of federally funded research institutions and major academic health systems means demand remains active year-round rather than tied to seasonal hiring cycles.
Which Maryland cities have the most research coordinator jobs?
Baltimore, Bethesda, and Silver Spring hold the most research coordinator openings in Maryland. Baltimore anchors hiring through Johns Hopkins Medicine, the University of Maryland Medical System, and a growing biotech corridor, while Bethesda and Rockville draw large volumes of openings from NIH campuses and the pharmaceutical and government contracting firms that cluster around them.
Are there remote research coordinator jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're rare. About 77% of research coordinator openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of much of the work. The portions of the role most likely to go remote or hybrid are regulatory document management, data entry, and study coordination tasks that do not require direct participant contact.
How can I get hired as a research coordinator in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a research assistant or clinical research associate position at a major Maryland academic medical center or NIH-affiliated institution, where on-the-job training is built into the role. Johns Hopkins Medicine, the University of Maryland Medical System, and MedStar Health regularly post entry-level research positions for candidates with relevant coursework but limited field experience. A completed human subjects protection certification through CITI Program gives candidates an immediate advantage and is required before most institutions allow coordinators to work with study participants.
Where can I find and apply to research coordinator jobs in Maryland?
