Pracovní nabídka

Alcedis is a well-established clinical research organization headquartered in Germany, with over 30 years of experience in managing clinical studies. For an international study we are currently preparing, we are looking for an experienced clinical research professional in the Czech Republic to join our project team as an independent contractor (IČO) on a fixed-term, project-based basis.

Beyond classic monitoring, you will also take responsibility for submissions and notifications for the study (e.g. to Ethics Committees and, where required, local authorities) and site contract management in the Czech Republic. The engagement is planned for approximately 10 months with an average workload of around 60 hours per month. The ideal start date is 1 December 2026, and an earlier start in November is possible. The project runs until Q3 2027.
