The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to join our clinical research team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with clinical research experience who wants to develop a long-term career in a highly specialized and rapidly evolving area of medicine. The CRC will work closely with the Principal Investigator, Lead Clinical Research Coordinator, research subjects, sponsors, CROs, and other members of the clinical research team.

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable balancing patient interaction with the regulatory, administrative, and data-management responsibilities required to conduct high-quality clinical research.

Because many of our studies involve aesthetic treatments and technologies, the position provides unique exposure to innovative products and procedures before they become widely available in clinical practice.
