Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator- Cardiology/Neurology (Detroit, MI)
About The Position
Start Your Career in Clinical Research If you’re curious about how new treatments reach patients, detail-oriented by nature, and energized by work that genuinely matters – this is where that career begins. As an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator at Profound Research, you’ll work alongside experienced clinical research staff at one of our sites, supporting the day-to-day execution of clinical trials that give patients access to therapies they couldn’t otherwise reach. You’ll learn by doing – gaining hands-on experience in study coordination, patient interaction, data collection, and clinical procedures – with a clear path to grow into greater ownership and responsibility over time. This isn’t a behind-the-desk role. You’ll be present with patients, part of a team, and contributing to research that has real-world impact from day one.
