At Civia Health, Research Assistants play a key role in supporting clinical research operations and ensuring an exceptional experience for trial participants. We’re looking for a reliable, proactive team player who’s eager to grow in the world of clinical trials and contribute to meaningful, life-changing research.

At Civia Health, you re not just taking a job:
You re joining a mission to transform the way clinical research is done. Our purpose is bold: to bring clinical trials front and center in your community, make them accessible to everyday people, and empower underrepresented communities to participate.

We’re reinventing how clinical studies are run, delivering valid, scalable evidence with a consumer-first mindset. Too often, trials are expensive, fragmented, and overlook the experience of the participant. At Civia, we’re changing that. Our leadership team are experienced industry leading, visionary professionals who know what’s broken — and how to fix it.

We treat participants like valued partners, not research subjects. That means supporting their agency, putting their needs, comfort, and enjoyment first — and rewarding them generously for their time and effort.

• Support study coordination by preparing visit materials and assisting with scheduling.
• Perform data entry, filing, and documentation of clinical trial activities.
• Escort participants, collect vitals, and assist with specimen processing/phlebotomy.
• Ensure exam rooms and supplies are prepared for each study visit.
• Help maintain regulatory binders and source documents.
• Work closely with coordinators, nurses, and investigators to facilitate smooth study execution.
• Occasional travel may be required for audits, site visits, or team meetings.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in healthcare or research-related field.
• Prior experience in a clinical or research setting preferred.
• Phlebotomy, blood collection and processing experience required.
• Strong organizational and multitasking skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and communication skills.
• Commitment to maintaining confidentiality and ethical standards.
• Eagerness to learn and contribute as part of a collaborative team.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• Flexible scheduling options
• Professional development and continuing education support
