  • Perform monitoring of laboratory-based activities, including on-site visits, data verification, and quality assurance reviews.
  • Partner with external sponsors to align project milestones, timelines, and deliverables.

  • Oversee lab-related operations such as sample handling, processing, and reporting; resolve issues as they arise.
  • Prepare and review monitoring documentation, reports, and study-related submissions.
  • Assist in study planning, project documentation, and management of trial communications.
  • Contribute to audits, inspections, and risk assessments to ensure regulatory readiness.
  • Track study progress against timelines and provide regular status updates to stakeholders.
  • Safeguard ethical conduct of research, including informed consent and subject protection.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in life sciences (advanced degree preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience as a CRA, with a background in IVD trials and laboratory monitoring.
  • Solid understanding of 21 CFR Part 812 and IDE-related processes.
  • Familiarity with companion diagnostics and EU MDR Annex XIV.
  • Strong collaboration skills with sponsors and cross-functional teams.
  • Hands-on experience monitoring lab-based clinical trials.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Proficiency with CTMS/EDC systems and standard office applications.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies.
  • Prior work in diagnostics, genomics, or related fields.
  • Knowledge of ISO 13485 and other IVD regulatory frameworks.
  • Background in oncology or precision medicine is a plus.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly contract rate.
  • Possibility of extension or transition into a longer-term role.
  • Exposure to advanced laboratory settings and innovative diagnostic research.
  • Collaborative and supportive work environment.
  • Flexibility to support work-life balance during the contract period.
