QPS Netherlands B.V. in Groningen is part of an international organization and conducts drug research on behalf of international pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies. To strengthen our Clinical Research department in Groningen, we are looking for candidates with prior clinical trials monitoring experience for the position of Clinical Research Associate in the near future. Note that this role may also be filled in Austria (QPS Clinical Services GmbH is in Graz, Austria).

What will you do?

In this role, you will monitor clinical drug studies across various research centers according to applicable guidelines such as GCP and WMO. You will manage studies from site initiation to close-out, communicate with clients, conduct regular site visits, and write reports. You will verify data, check study drug accountability, discuss study progress and issues with site staff, and review various aspects of execution, processes, samples, and materials. Monitoring activities will primarily take place at clinics in Groningen and Leeuwarden. You will work as part of a team but also independently during visits to research centers. The hours are flexible, and you will work from home.

Who are you?

Ideally, you have a bachelor's degree, or an academic level obtained through education and/or experience with a (para)medical or biological background. A few years of experience in the CRO field is a plus; our ideal candidate will have solid prior CRA work experience (specifically, extensive experience monitoring clinical trials). You are expected to work precisely and organized, and to communicate effectively. You are proactive with an eye for detail. You have a good command of both Dutch and English, spoken and written. You will be able to travel to your assigned clinical trial sites (may occasionally include overnight travel).
