Company
Our client is a well-established, multi-site clinical research organization with a growing footprint across the U.S., conducting industry-sponsored trials across a range of therapeutic areas including neurological, psychiatric, dermatologic, and specialty indications.
Position Summary
This is a full-time physician position focused exclusively on clinical research. We are seeking a Principal Investigator with prior clinical research/trial experience who will provide medical oversight across a portfolio of Phase I-IV industry-sponsored clinical trials while working closely with an experienced team of clinical research coordinators, regulatory professionals, and site leadership.
The incoming physician will step into active, well-supported research programs. This is not a ground-up build or a position where the physician is expected to create a research operation from scratch. You will inherit an established study pipeline, experienced research staff, and the support of a well-resourced site organization.
This is an opportunity for a physician to remain closely involved with patients and medical decision-making while building a long-term career at the forefront of clinical research.
Responsibilities
- Serve as Principal Investigator for assigned industry-sponsored clinical trials
- Evaluate prospective study participants and determine eligibility
- Perform protocol-required medical assessments and oversee participant safety throughout each study
- Review adverse events, laboratory results, medical histories, concomitant medications, and other relevant clinical information
- Ensure trials are conducted in accordance with study protocols, ICH-GCP guidelines, FDA regulations, and applicable requirements
- Review and sign source documentation, study records, safety reports, and other required materials
- Provide medical guidance to clinical research coordinators and other members of the site team
- Collaborate with sponsors, CROs, medical monitors, and regulatory representatives
- Support patient enrollment, protocol compliance, data quality, and successful study execution
Qualifications
- MD or DO degree
- Board-certified US licensed Physician
- Previous clinical research experience as a Principal Investigator, Sub-Investigator, research physician, or in a comparable capacity
- Active Florida medical license or eligibility to obtain one
- DEA registration or ability to obtain one
- Working knowledge of ICH-GCP guidelines and clinical research regulations
- Strong clinical judgment and commitment to participant safety
Previous experience serving as a Principal Investigator on industry-sponsored trials is preferred. Physicians with meaningful Sub-Investigator or clinical trial experience who are prepared to step into a full-time Principal Investigator position are also encouraged to apply.
Compensation & Benefits:
This full-time position offers a $350,000-$400,000 base salary + bonus, based on experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, company holidays, and additional employer-sponsored benefits. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates.
