Oncology Nurse (RN) - Clinical Research Career Opportunity

$100k - $120k
Full-time

Vitalief

ABOUT VITALIEF
Vitalief is a consulting firm built exclusively for the research and clinical trial industry, providing innovative Consulting and Functional Service Provider (FSP) solutions to academic medical centers, health systems, sponsors, CROs, and site networks. By combining deep subject matter expertise with the experience of senior research practitioners, we help organizations accelerate study activation, optimize operations, improve financial performance, and build scalable workforce solutions that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and advance clinical breakthroughs for patients.

THE ROLE
We are seeking an experienced Oncology Nurse to join our team as a full-time Vitalief employee ( with a comprehensive benefits package) supporting interventional oncology clinical trials across multiple disease areas at a leading research center in New Brunswick, NJ.

This is an excellent opportunity for a registered nurse (RN) with oncology experience to transition into a fulfilling career in clinical research and contribute to oncology studies. Comprehensive on-the-job training in clinical trials will be provided.

WHY CLINICAL RESEARCH AND VITALIEF?
  • Launch Your Clinical Research Career: No prior research experience required - we provide comprehensive training.
  • Advance Cancer Care: Support innovative oncology research that improves patient outcomes.
  • Work-Life Balance: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM (no nights, weekends, or holidays) on site in New Brunswick, NJ initially; then 4 days on-site and 1 day remote weekly after the training period.
  • People-First Culture: Join a collaborative team committed to professional growth and innovation.
  • Salary Range: from $100,000 to $120,000 depending on experience and education.
  • Competitive Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare, 401(k), company-paid life and disability insurance, 20 PTO days, and 9 paid holidays.
  • Stay in Oncology: Continue using your oncology nursing expertise in a rewarding role that is less physically demanding than bedside care.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Under the direction of the Clinical Research Study Site Leader, coordinate and support Phase II–IV Medical Oncology clinical trials, primarily involving investigational drugs and biologics, with limited device, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology studies.
  • Provide exceptional, patient-centered oncology nursing care while coordinating protocol-related activities with investigators, physicians, advanced practice providers, and multidisciplinary teams in accordance with study protocols, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), institutional policies, and regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with investigators and research teams to prepare, initiate, and conduct clinical trials, including patient identification, eligibility assessment, informed consent, enrollment, treatment coordination, and ongoing protocol management.
  • Apply strong clinical judgment and critical thinking to ensure patient safety, protocol compliance, accurate documentation, and appropriate review of treatment plans and physician orders throughout study participation.
  • Support assigned physician practices based on clinic schedules by providing direct patient care during clinic sessions and completing research-related activities on non-clinic days, including documentation, patient follow-up, order review, care coordination, and study management.
  • Partner with the Protocol Activation Office to facilitate the successful activation and implementation of new clinical trials using the OnCore™ Clinical Trials Management System (CTMS).
  • Review electronic medical records and source documentation to determine protocol eligibility, verify study requirements, and maintain complete and accurate research documentation.
  • Perform essential clinical research responsibilities, including documenting and reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), maintaining study records within OnCore™ and the electronic medical record, preparing patient study calendars, and ensuring compliance with institutional, sponsor, and federal regulatory requirements.
REQUIRED SKILLS:
  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) required.
  • Active Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of New Jersey.
  • Minimum 3 years of nursing experience in a hospital setting or outpatient or clinic setting.
  • At least 1 year of oncology nursing experience in a hospital or clinic setting.
  • Some experience in a clinical research or trial participant–facing role is a plus but not required (training will be provided).
  • Strong critical thinking and prioritization skills, with the confidence to be appropriately assertive in advocating for protocol adherence and patient safety.
  • Excellent communication skills: serve as a key liaison across departments and effectively translate complex clinical information into clear, patient-friendly language.
  • Proficiency in document and data management tools, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe, Teams, and SharePoint.
  • Detail-oriented, proactive, and adaptable, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, academic, and diverse environment.
  • Comfortable learning and using clinical systems such as OnCore™, electronic medical records (i.e. EPIC), and other clinical trial management tools.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Standing, sitting, walking, visual perception, talking and hearing. Lifting up to 20lbs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Vitalief partners with clients such as major medical centers and academic institutions that often requires all on-site resources such as prospective Vitalief consultants to be inoculated annually for Influenza and successfully pass a Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
