Clinical Research Scientist

We are seeking a hands-on Clinical Research Scientist with strong experience in oncology clinical drug development to support the day-to-day scientific and operational execution of ongoing clinical trials.
The ideal candidate will have direct experience in end-to-end clinical database review, clinical data cleaning, safety and efficacy assessments, patient monitoring, and clinical study documentation.
This is an execution-focused position requiring someone who can independently manage clinical study activities, identify and resolve data-related issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure study quality, patient safety, and protocol compliance.
This is not a biomarker/translational research, laboratory-based, regulatory affairs, or strategic oversight position.
Key Responsibilities
Clinical Trial Execution & Monitoring
Support the daily execution of Phase I–III oncology clinical trials, ensuring adherence to study protocols and timelines.
Review patient enrollment, patient-level clinical data, protocol deviations, and ongoing study activities.
Address site inquiries, patient-related issues, and clinical monitoring concerns in collaboration with Medical Directors and Clinical Operations.
Independently manage assigned clinical study responsibilities across multiple projects.
Clinical Data Review & Cleaning
Perform end-to-end clinical database reviews, including safety, efficacy, laboratory, and patient-level clinical data.
Review EDC systems and clinical data listings to identify inconsistencies, missing information, and potential safety concerns.
Coordinate with Data Management and clinical teams to investigate discrepancies, resolve queries, and support database cleaning and readiness.
Analyze clinical data to identify emerging trends, risks, and potential protocol compliance issues.
Clinical Documentation & Scientific Support
Author, review, and contribute to clinical study protocols, Clinical Study Reports (CSRs), Investigator Brochures (IBs), and other scientific documents.
Support the preparation of DSURs, regulatory submissions, and scientific publications, as applicable.
Interpret clinical safety and efficacy findings to support study decisions, risk assessments, and clinical development milestones.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with Medical Directors, Medical Monitors, Clinical Operations, Data Management, Biostatistics, Pharmacovigilance, and Medical Writing.
Provide timely clinical study updates, identify potential risks, and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
Collaborate with global study teams while independently managing daily operational priorities.
Required Qualifications
3–5 years of drug development experience within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
Minimum 2 years of hands-on oncology clinical development experience; hematology-oncology experience strongly preferred.
Demonstrated experience directly supporting the execution of clinical trials, rather than primarily performing biomarker, translational, or laboratory research.
Proven ability to independently conduct comprehensive clinical database reviews, including safety, efficacy, and patient-level data.
Hands-on experience with EDC systems, clinical data listings, data cleaning, and query resolution.
Experience reviewing patient enrollment, protocol deviations, clinical monitoring findings, and study-related issues.
Experience contributing to clinical study protocols, CSRs, IBs, or other core clinical documents.
Strong clinical data interpretation, scientific communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Ability to work independently, manage multiple projects, and adapt quickly to changing study priorities.
Willingness and ability to meet the required hybrid on-site schedule.
Preferred Qualifications
MS, PhD, PharmD, or other relevant advanced life sciences degree.
Direct experience in hematology-oncology clinical trials.
Experience with sponsor-side clinical study execution and coordination.
Familiarity with Phase I–III clinical drug development.
Experience contributing to NDA/MAA submissions, DSURs, or scientific publications
