We’re hiring our first Clinical Research Assistant. You’ll own the lab bench, the investigational product and the data entry across every study, so our coordinators can spend their day with participants.
Hamilton Medical Research Group (HMRG) is a clinical research site in Hamilton. We run Phase II to IV drug trials for global pharmaceutical sponsors in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, respiratory, renal and vaccine research, with a small team of coordinators and physicians led by Dr. Richard Tytus.
What you’ll do
- Receive investigational product: check it against the packing list and temperature record, confirm receipt in the sponsor’s IRT, store it, and keep accountability logs ready for the monitor.
- Be the second check on investigational product when a protocol or pharmacy manual calls for one.
- Process blood and urine samples exactly as the lab manual says: spin, separate, aliquot, label and freeze.
- Pack and ship ambient, refrigerated and frozen (dry ice) samples, book couriers and track every box to the central lab.
- Keep lab kits and shipping supplies stocked and in date.
- Enter visit data into sponsor EDC systems and help close queries.
- Take vital signs and ECGs, and draw blood if you’re certified.
What you bring
- 2+ years of hands-on work with patients or clinical samples, ideally at a clinical research site on industry-sponsored drug trials.
- Hands-on experience collecting, processing or shipping samples, ideally to a central lab manual.
- Data entry in a sponsor EDC system (for example Medidata Rave, Veeva or InForm).
- Current GCP training and TDG/IATA certification for Category B specimens and dry ice. If yours has lapsed, we’ll get you recertified.
- A plus: receiving investigational product in an IRT and keeping accountability logs, and phlebotomy certification.
- Care with detail. You catch the wrong tube or kit number before it leaves the building.
What we offer
- $27 to $32 an hour, based on experience.
- 40 hours a week, Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 4:30, with the occasional early start for a fasting visit.
- Group benefits from your first day.
- A $100 monthly transportation stipend.
- Paid time for training and certification.
- A path to Clinical Research Coordinator.
