Job description

Join Us at Centricity Research! 

Centricity Research is one of the largest clinical research networks in North America. We are a fully centralized Integrated Research Organization (IRO) specializing in conducting Phase I-IV clinical trials in over 35 therapeutic areas: inpatient and outpatient; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device trials.



About the Role 

We're looking for a Remote Research Assistant (RA) to support the successful execution of clinical research studies from start to finish. In this role, you'll work primarily from home, providing essential administrative and coordination support to Investigators, Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs), and site teams — and traveling to US and Canadian sites as needed to carry out hands-on clinical responsibilities. This role is well-suited for someone who thrives independently, stays organized across time zones, and can shift smoothly from remote coordination work to on-site clinical duties when travel is required.

 

What You’ll Do 

  • Remote Administrative & Study Support (Primary focus): Maintain study documentation, complete source documents and CRFs, manage CTMS records, support scheduling and participant check-in/out coordination, prepare materials for monitoring visits and audits, and maintain the Investigator Site File (ISF).
  • Study Protocol & Safety: Conduct all study activities in compliance with GCP, SOPs, and applicable US and Canadian regulations; monitor participant safety; and coordinate or perform scheduled visits and assessments (e.g., vitals, ECGs) during site travel.
  • Recruitment & Enrollment Support: Assist with remote recruitment efforts, support participant screening logistics, help facilitate informed consent processes, and maintain accurate enrollment documentation.
  • On-Site Visit Execution (When traveling): Perform delegated clinical tasks including phlebotomy, sample collection and shipping, point-of-care testing, and investigational product accountability during site visits.
  • Data Integrity & Compliance: Report adverse events promptly, ensure investigational product inventory and storage compliance, and uphold data accuracy across all study records regardless of work location.
  • Cross-Border Site Support: Travel between US and Canadian research sites as required by study needs, with flexibility to accommodate varying schedules and locations.

 

You Might Be a Great Fit If You: 

  • Have a degree in a health, science, or research-related field — or equivalent hands-on experience in a healthcare or clinical setting.
  • Are comfortable working remotely and independently, managing priorities and deadlines without daily on-site supervision.
  • Have strong attention to detail and can maintain accurate, compliant documentation in a virtual environment.
  • Are flexible and willing to travel between US and Canadian sites as needed, and hold (or are eligible for) the appropriate travel documentation to do so. Travel will be up to 50%.
  • Are comfortable with clinical tools like blood pressure monitors, ECG machines, or point-of-care testing devices (or are eager to learn) for use during site visits.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally across platforms — video calls, email, and in-person — with participants, colleagues, and external partners.
  • Are tech-savvy and confident navigating Microsoft Office, clinical data systems, and virtual collaboration tools.
  • Bring a proactive, problem-solving mindset and adapt easily when circumstances shift — whether working from home or on-site.
