Entry Level Research Project Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level research project manager job?
Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate they have kept a project organized from start to finish, even on a small scale. Internship experience, a senior thesis, or a volunteer coordination role all count. Familiarity with basic project tracking tools and clear written communication give candidates a real edge over others with a similar background.
Which companies hire entry level research project managers?
Companies hiring entry level research project managers right now include Medpace, Penn State University, and University of Alabama, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from research institutions, healthcare organizations, tech companies with active R&D arms, and consulting firms that bring junior project staff onto client teams.
Are there remote entry level research project manager jobs?
Yes, though the mix varies by industry. About 43% of entry level research project manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with fully on-site roles most common in clinical, laboratory, and government research settings where in-person coordination is part of the work.
Are these new grad research project manager jobs?
Yes. Many of the listings on this page are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with little to no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects as qualifying background, and does not require prior full-time project management titles.
Which industries hire the most entry level research project managers?
Entry Level research project manager roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
