The Opportunity

The Transfusion Research Unit is seeking a dedicated and experienced Clinical Research Associate to lead critical research operations for the internationally recognized RATIONALISE and RATIONAL Platform trials.

By joining us, you will help fill crucial evidence gaps and contribute to improved immunoglobulin strategies for this vulnerable population.

The Clinical Research Associate will manage diverse responsibilities essential to these trials' success: setting up hospital sites, training site staff, conducting data monitoring and quality control and preparing regulatory documentation.
