Alignerr
About The Role
What if your expertise in clinical research methodology could directly influence the quality and integrity of medical science? We're looking for Clinical Trial Research Scientists to critically evaluate clinical study protocols, trial designs, and study outcomes — helping ensure that the science behind new treatments meets the highest standards of methodological rigor.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced professionals in clinical research, biostatistics, or pharmaceutical science who want meaningful, high-impact work on their own terms.
What You'll Do
- Review and evaluate clinical trial protocols, identifying methodological strengths, gaps, and risks
- Analyze endpoints, inclusion/exclusion criteria, randomization strategies, and study controls for scientific soundness
- Interpret trial results and produce clear, accurate summaries of safety and efficacy findings
- Validate statistical analysis plans for completeness, accuracy, and regulatory alignment
- Identify operational or scientific risks in trial execution before they become problems
- Support recurring evaluations of clinical documentation and study outputs across multiple projects
Must-Have
Who You Are
- Hands-on experience in clinical research, biostatistics, pharmaceutical science, or a closely related field
- Strong working knowledge of trial methodology, GCP guidelines, and regulatory standards (FDA, EMA, or equivalent)
- Proven ability to interpret complex trial data and communicate findings clearly in written form
- Detail-oriented, methodical, and capable of working independently with minimal oversight
Nice To Have
- Experience across Phase I–IV clinical trials
- Familiarity with specific therapeutic areas (oncology, cardiology, rare disease, etc.)
- Background in medical writing, regulatory affairs, or clinical data management
- Exposure to adaptive trial designs or Bayesian statistical approaches
Why Join Us
- Work on high-quality, scientifically meaningful projects that matter
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of consistent, task-based assignments
- Apply your expertise across a diverse range of trials and therapeutic areas
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
