Job description

As one of the largest Clinical Research Organizations in the world, we have four Early Phase Clinical Research Units in the UK and US.

We are currently seeking a PRN Research Technician to lead and support our Clinical Pharmacology Start-up team in initiating Early Phase clinical trials for our clients with maximum speed and efficiency.

This is a casual, office-based position in Dallas, TX. Multiple openings.

If you join us, you will work with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies during a vital stage of clinical development: establishing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a new drug.

Many Technicians are drawn to their profession because of its direct impact on patient care. If this is your case, you will not miss that working in Phase 1 trials. While allowing you to have a close face-to-face relationship with participants and continue practicing your clinical skills and knowledge, you'll be involved with the latest medical technologies and treatments, witnessing their development firsthand. When the drug you worked with gets approved, you know you'll touch many patients' lives around the world.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will utilize your skills, knowledge, and clinical judgment to provide a high standard of care for participants in clinical trials and respond to emergency situations based on clinical research standards.

Other key responsibilities:

• Accurately perform blood pressure, venipuncture, weights, pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature readings
• Preparation and accurate recording of ECGs/Holters
• Collection and processing of biological samples as specified in the protocol and ensure proper distribution of those samples
• Monitor meals to ensure dietary compliance by research participants
• Assist in the preparation of rooms and medical equipment
• Assist with screening procedures as needed
• Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient working and study environment
• Undertake any other duties as required

YOU NEED TO BRING...

• High School Diploma or equivalent
• Relevant and equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of educational requirements
• EMT, Phlebotomy, CMA, or CNA certification preferred
• 0-1 year of clinical research experience

Previous clinical experience is ideal but not required. We are open to recent graduates or those with recent clinical experience.

The important thing is that you are comfortable working in an environment that is:

• Fast-paced: where no deviations from the study protocol are allowed, and even minor delays can impact quality.
• Changing priorities: requiring you to adapt and prioritize on the spot.
• Teamwork and people skills: essential for smooth study operations.
• Technology-driven: data is collected directly into an electronic environment.

What do you get?

Regular, full-time, or part-time employees working 20 or more hours per week are eligible for comprehensive benefits including but not limited to:

• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, STD/LTD insurance
• 401(k)
