This week, I’m doing something different: instead of spotlighting one job, I am going to spotlight a whole company. Medpace, a global leader in clinical research, offers numerous opportunities for Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and professionals in the research field. If you’ve ever considered transitioning into a career in research, Medpace might be the perfect fit, with over 100 positions at various levels—from entry-level CRAs to Clinical Trial Managers—in remote, office, or field-based roles. Even better, these positions are open to anyone with a bachelor’s degree in a science or healthcare-related field.
As a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) at Medpace, you’d oversee clinical trials, ensure protocols are followed, and collaborate with healthcare professionals to assess the safety and efficacy of medical interventions. CRAs play a critical role in Phase I-IV clinical trials, helping bring new treatments from the lab to patients. Whether you work remotely or in-office, you’ll be at the forefront of groundbreaking medical advancements.
THEY WILL TRAIN YOU! I’ve been turned down for CRA-type positions before due to lack of monitoring experience. If you’re new to the field, Medpace offers their PACE training program, which gives you the skills and certification to thrive as a CRA. Honestly, I wish I’d known about Medpace 10 years ago—I’d have applied immediately! (To be completely honest- I just applied for one.)The company provides clear pathways for career growth, from entry-level CRAs to Clinical Trial Managers.
Medpace is known for its generous benefits, including standard health and retirement plans plus unique perks like bonuses for completing training milestones (What?? Not sure if I have ever heard of that perk!), TSA pre-check reimbursements, airport lounge access, and stock options. Their commitment to supporting their workforce is evident in these offerings.
Medpace is one of the top contract research organizations (CROs), partnering with pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies to conduct clinical trials worldwide. By joining Medpace, you’ll be part of an organization improving global healthcare. The company’s full-service model spans from pre-clinical to Phase IV trials, with CRAs playing a key role in ensuring trial success.
If you’re a nurse, nutritionist, biologist, or have another science or healthcare background, Medpace has a role for you. With flexible options for remote or on-site positions, Medpace is a great fit for healthcare professionals transitioning into research. They currently have almost 150 positions listed; see what they have available in your experience level and location.
