Remote Clinical Research Nurse Jobs

Pharma and medical-device companies hire nurses into clinical research associate (CRA) and research specialist roles — monitoring trial sites, verifying source data, and keeping studies compliant with GCP. Pfizer and Medtronic listings are live on the board now, posting $110K-$160K for CRA levels and past $200K for senior and principal research roles. Fair warning on the word "remote": CRA roles are home-based but most include real site-visit travel, and each listing here shows its work setting honestly.

Frequently asked

What's the difference between a CRA and a research nurse?+

A CRA monitors trial sites for a sponsor or CRO — remote work plus scheduled site visits, no patient care. A research nurse administers the protocol at the site, which is in-person clinical work; those roles don't qualify for this board. Most listings here are CRA-track.

How much travel is really involved?+

Typical CRA postings quote 40-60% travel for on-site monitoring, trending down as sponsors adopt remote monitoring. Read each listing's travel percentage — we surface the work setting on every card rather than calling everything remote.

Do I need a research certification?+

ACRP or SOCRA certification (CCRA/CCRP) is the standard ask at the senior level, and 2+ years of trial exposure — research coordination, site work, or data management — is the usual entry bar. Oncology and device trial experience are the most in-demand backgrounds.

What do these roles pay?+

Listings currently on the board post $110K-$160K for CRA I/II levels, with senior and principal research positions listed above $200K. Every role shows the employer's posted band when one exists.
