Clinical Study Administrator (CSA) Graduate Program

Location: Wilmington, DE (On-site)

Be at the heart of bringing life-changing medicines to the world.

As part of our Clinical Study Administrator (CSA) Graduate Program, you’ll work on clinical trials for our innovative portfolio of oncology medicines, directly influencing our ability to provide treatments and impact the lives of millions of people globally.

AstraZeneca’s vision in Oncology Research & Development (R&D) is to push the boundaries of science to change the practice of medicine and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a cause of death. Our broad pipeline of next-generation oncology medicines has nearly 100 clinical trials ongoing. The Site Management and Monitoring (SMM) organization delivers high-quality study data to Oncology R&D. We work across approximately 40 countries, monitoring activities of phase I-IV trials across Therapeutic Areas including lung, breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and hematology.

Our program provides a springboard to your future career as a CRA. Starting in September 2026, you will progress through three five-month rotations within the SMM organization, supporting teams in Trial Master File Administration (eTMF), Study Start-Up, and Site Monitoring.

• The rotational assignments are designed to help you understand how each team supports the overall delivery of our oncology portfolio and provide insights into the collaborative, cross-functional CRA role.
• You will make real contributions and work on projects supporting collection and filing of regulatory documents and study site activation.
• Participants receive training, including oncology-focused modules, engage in mock visits, and observe monitoring visits with experienced oncology monitors.

Through the placements, you will develop skills in building and maintaining multidisciplinary relationships. You will receive mentoring and feedback from managers and colleagues, so you’ll be able to identify areas of strength, as well as those you want to further develop. Upon completion of the program, there is opportunity for a full-time CRA position based on participant interest, performance, and business needs.
