Entry Level Study Start Up Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level study start up job?
Entry level study start up employers look for candidates who understand clinical trial workflows, regulatory terminology, and site coordination basics. A degree in life sciences, nursing, or a related health field is a common starting point, but internships, practicum experience, or volunteer work at a research site can give you a real edge. Highlight any exposure to informed consent processes, patient scheduling, or data entry in your application materials.
Which companies hire entry level study start ups?
Companies hiring entry level study start ups right now include Medpace, Theradex Oncology, and West Cancer Center, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of organizations, including contract research organizations, academic medical centers, specialty clinics, and pharmaceutical sponsors building out their site networks.

Yes, though many study start up roles require some on-site presence for site activation visits and regulatory file reviews. About 13% of entry level study start up openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, with fully remote positions more common in roles focused on document management, regulatory submissions, or central coordination rather than direct site interaction.

A new grad posting in this field typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and may accept internships, clinical rotations, or a strong academic project as qualifying background in place of full-time work history.
