Job description

We are seeking a hands-on Clinical Research Scientist with strong experience in oncology clinical drug development to support the day-to-day scientific and operational execution of ongoing clinical trials.

The ideal candidate will have direct experience in end-to-end clinical database review, clinical data cleaning, safety and efficacy assessments, patient monitoring, and clinical study documentation.

This is an execution-focused position requiring someone who can independently manage clinical study activities, identify and resolve data-related issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure study quality, patient safety, and protocol compliance.

This is not a biomarker/translational research, laboratory-based, regulatory affairs, or strategic oversight position.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Trial Execution & Monitoring

• Support the daily execution of Phase I-III oncology clinical trials, ensuring adherence to study protocols and timelines.
• Review patient enrollment, patient-level clinical data, protocol deviations, and ongoing study activities.
• Address site inquiries, patient-related issues, and clinical monitoring concerns in collaboration with Medical Directors and Clinical Operations.
• Independently manage assigned clinical study responsibilities across multiple projects.

Clinical Data Review & Cleaning

• Perform end-to-end clinical database reviews, including safety, efficacy, laboratory, and patient-level clinical data.
• Review EDC systems and clinical data listings to identify inconsistencies, missing information, and potential safety concerns.
• Coordinate with Data Management and clinical teams to investigate discrepancies, resolve queries, and support database cleaning and readiness.
• Analyze clinical data to identify emerging trends, risks, and potential protocol compliance issues.

Clinical Documentation & Scientific Support

• Author, review, and contribute to clinical study protocols, Clinical Study Reports (CSRs), Investigator Brochures (IBs), and other scientific documents.
• Support the preparation of DSURs, regulatory submissions, and scientific publications, as applicable.
• Interpret clinical safety and efficacy findings to support study decisions, risk assessments, and clinical development milestones.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Medical Directors, Medical Monitors, Clinical Operations, Data Management, Biostatistics, Pharmacovigilance, and Medical Writing.
• Provide timely clinical study updates, identify potential risks, and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
• Collaborate with global study teams while independently managing daily operational priorities.

Required Qualifications

• 3-5 years of drug development experience within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on oncology clinical development experience; hematology-oncology experience strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience directly supporting the execution of clinical trials, rather than primarily performing biomarker, translational, or laboratory research.
• Proven ability to independently conduct comprehensive clinical database reviews, including safety, efficacy, and patient-level data.
• Hands-on experience with EDC systems, clinical data listings, data cleaning, and query resolution.
• Experience reviewing patient enrollment, protocol deviations, clinical monitoring findings, and study-related issues.
• Experience contributing to clinical study protocols, CSRs, IBs, or other core clinical documents.
• Strong clinical data interpretation, scientific communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and adapt quickly to changing study priorities.
• Willingness and ability to meet the required hybrid on-site schedule.

Preferred Qualifications

• MS, PhD, PharmD, or other relevant advanced life sciences degree.
• Direct experience in hematology-oncology clinical trials.
• Experience with sponsor-side clinical study execution and coordination.
• Familiarity with Phase I-III clinical drug development.
• Experience contributing to NDA/MAA submissions, DSURs, or scientific publications
