- Experience supporting IRB submissions and maintaining regulatory documentation

Research Coordinator Jobs in Utah: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a research coordinator in Utah?
The concrete path starts with a bachelor's degree in a life science, public health, nursing, or social science field, which is the baseline most Utah employers require. Utah does not mandate a state-issued license for research coordinators, but certification through the Association of Clinical Research Professionals or the Society of Clinical Research Associates is widely expected by larger institutions such as Intermountain Health and the University of Utah. Many candidates enter through a research assistant or clinical trials assistant role first.
Which companies hire research coordinators in Utah?
Companies currently hiring research coordinators in Utah include Care Access, University of Utah, and Advanced Research Institute, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Utah's concentration of academic medical centers and life sciences companies means demand runs across both hospital-affiliated trials units and independent contract research organizations operating along the Wasatch Front.
Which Utah cities have the most research coordinator jobs?
Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Draper have the most research coordinator openings in Utah. Salt Lake City dominates because it hosts Intermountain Health's flagship facilities, the University of Utah Health system, and Huntsman Cancer Institute, while Provo's openings are driven by Brigham Young University research programs and a growing cluster of life sciences employers in Utah County.
Are there remote research coordinator jobs in Utah?
Yes, but they're rare. About 17% of research coordinator openings tied to Utah are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which reflects how much of the work involves in-person participant contact, specimen collection, and on-site regulatory oversight. The portions of the role most likely to allow remote work are data entry, regulatory document management, and study coordination for survey-based or behavioral research.
How can I get hired as a research coordinator in Utah with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a research assistant or clinical trials assistant position at a Utah academic medical center, which serves as a structured on-ramp into coordinator work. The University of Utah and Intermountain Health both post entry-level research support roles that do not require prior trials experience. Candidates coming from nursing, medical assisting, or lab technician backgrounds have a clear advantage. Completing a Good Clinical Practice training course and sitting for the SOCRA entry-level exam before applying signals readiness to hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to research coordinator jobs in Utah?
You can find and apply to research coordinator jobs in Utah on Migrate Mate, which lists current Utah openings from employers across the Wasatch Front and beyond. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to the ones that match.
