Job description

Part-Time Optician Positions Available

We're looking for an experienced and detail-oriented optician to support ongoing ophthalmic clinical trials at our research sites. This is a part-time position with a flexible schedule, ideal for someone who can adjust their availability based on patient visit schedules. You'll work closely with our study coordinators and investigators to perform key clinical trial assessments, ensuring data accuracy and patient safety while contributing to cutting-edge ophthalmic research.

This position is perfect for an optician who enjoys patient care, values precision, and thrives in a dynamic environment. Experience in clinical research is a plus but not required—training and certification will be provided.

What You Will Own & Improve
  • Study Assessments: Perform protocol-required ophthalmic assessments, including refraction and visual acuity. You'll ensure all study procedures are conducted per protocol and GCP guidelines.
  • Certification & Compliance: Obtain and maintain all required study certifications (e.g., protocol-specific visual acuity, refraction, or imaging certifications). You'll help ensure compliance with all research and IRB standards.
  • Patient Care & Safety: Provide compassionate, professional care to research participants. Monitor for adverse events and communicate findings promptly to the study investigator.
  • Collaboration & Documentation: Work alongside the clinical research team to ensure efficient clinic flow, accurate source documentation, and timely data entry.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Availability to come in based on study visit schedules (patient appointments will vary by protocol).
What You Already Know
  • Licensed or experienced optician (ABO certification preferred)
  • Strong understanding of optical dispensing, lens types, and frame adjustments
  • Familiar with refraction principles and visual acuity measurement (Snellen, ETDRS)
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • Comfortable working with patients in a clinical setting
  • Prior experience in ophthalmology or research is a plus but not required
What You Will Learn
  • How to apply your optometric skills in a research environment
  • Protocol-specific certification and documentation requirements
  • Collaboration with sponsors, CROs, and regulatory teams
  • The ins and outs of ophthalmic clinical trial conduct, from screening through closeout
About the Team

You'll work alongside a small, dedicated clinical research team that includes physicians, coordinators, and ophthalmic technicians. This role reports to the Director of Clinical Research or Site Manager. Local travel to nearby clinic locations may occasionally be required.
