Started working as a full-time CRC when I started a full-time masters program. It’s possible. Look for positions at a local site (if any). Tailor your resume to show transferable skills related to the job description for the role you’re applying for.

Currently interviewing for a neuro CRC position. I’m not interested in neuro to be honest. If given the position, should I accept to get my foot in the door? Or would you recommend I only apply to positions in research areas that I’m interested in? Thank you so much for your response!!

Thank you,
I would advise you first finish school , then , you can apply for the new position. The advantage you have now ( autonomy) to do certain things at your pace , may not be available in the new positon. So please, use the current autonomy to complete your school.

Hi all! I recently finished my Masters in Biology. I worked on a few studies with human subjects as well as animal work. I am hoping to get a job in clinical research as either a CRC or CRA. I previously worked at a doctors office as a care manager for 4 years, but outside of my academic work I don’t have experience in research. What advice do you all have for entering the field in my position?
Thanks!!

Hey all! I have recently moved to a full time position wfh as a trial manager. It has been a struggle wfh so I am reconsidering my options. What positions are out there possible for transition for on site, except CRA?

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
