How do I get an entry level research project lead job?
Start by highlighting any research experience from coursework, internships, capstone projects, or volunteer work. Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can organize timelines, coordinate team tasks, and communicate findings clearly. A portfolio showing a completed research project or a demonstrated ability to manage deliverables from start to finish gives entry level applicants a real edge over a blank resume.
Which companies hire entry level research project leads?
Companies hiring entry level research project leads right now include Medpace, University of Alabama, and Penn State University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, you'll find opportunities at research institutions, consulting firms, healthcare organizations, and technology companies that run ongoing studies or product development programs.
Are there remote entry level research project lead jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles remain common at this stage. About 33% of entry level research project lead openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, giving new candidates flexibility while still building the hands-on collaboration skills most employers expect early in a research career.
Are these new grad research project lead jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or academic research toward requirements, and may also consider a strong portfolio in place of full-time work history.
