Help Build a New Clinical Research Site From the Ground Up

About Alliance Clinical Network

At Alliance Clinical Network, we're advancing medical innovation through high-quality, patient-centered clinical research. Our growing network is built around a simple belief: great research starts with great people, strong clinical leadership, and a commitment to doing what's right for patients.

We're looking for an Internal Medicine / Family Medicine / Specialist physician (MD/DO) with clinical research experience who wants to play a meaningful role in bringing that mission to life in Denver, CO.

The Opportunity

This is more than an opportunity to serve as a Principal Investigator. It's an opportunity to help build a new clinical research site from the ground up.

As the Principal Investigator, you'll provide clinical and medical guidance as the site establishes itself in the community and grows its research portfolio. Your experience, clinical judgment, and perspective will help shape the site's success while giving you the opportunity to make an impact without the demands of a traditional full-time clinical practice.

This is an especially attractive opportunity for a physician who enjoys medicine & clinical research and wants to remain clinically engaged, but is looking for a more predictable schedule; as well as the opportunity to fully contribute their time to clinical research.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Build, don't inherit.

Help establish a brand-new research site and play a visible role in shaping its clinical and research presence in the community.

Have a meaningful voice.

Your medical expertise and clinical judgment will directly contribute to delivering a high-quality experience for participants.

Stay engaged in cutting edge medicine.

Maintain meaningful clinical involvement without the high volume / low impact environment of a traditional practice.

Bring research opportunities to local patients.

Help connect patients with clinical trials investigating new therapies and advancing the future of medicine.

Work with a team behind you.

You won't be expected to build and manage the research operation yourself. Experienced clinical operations, regulatory, quality, and research staff provide the infrastructure and day-to-day support needed to conduct successful trials.

Grow with Alliance.

As the site develops, this role provides an opportunity to establish yourself as a key physician leader within a growing clinical research network.

• Review and confirm participant eligibility and provide medical oversight of screening outcomes.
• Review adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and participant safety trends.
• Perform or oversee study-specific medical assessments, including medical histories, physical examinations, concomitant medications, and endpoint assessments.
• Provide clinical guidance and medical oversight to Sub-Investigators, Clinical Research Coordinators, RNs, and other site staff.
• Serve as a clinical resource for study-related medical questions and safety concerns.
• Collaborate with study sponsors, CROs, IRBs, and Alliance leadership throughout the life of each trial.
• Participate in Site Initiation Visits, monitoring visits, close-out activities, and other study meetings as needed.
• Review clinical data including laboratory results, ECGs, vital signs, and other study-specific assessments.
• Support timely safety reporting, medical documentation, and resolution of clinical data queries.
• Maintain compliance with study protocols, site SOPs, ICH-GCP, FDA regulations, and applicable Florida requirements.
• Contribute to a culture of quality, continuous improvement, and patient-centered research.

• Opportunity to transition into the role from your current work; starting at approximately 10 hours per week and moving to full-time
• No overnight call & rare urgent escalations
