Chief Research Associate Opportunities

Taking a bridge year and looking for opportunities in research? The National Alliance of Research Associates Programs (NARAP) has opportunities for Chief Research Associates at two clinical sites in Stratford, NJ and Bridgeport, CT. 

The Chief RAs volunteer as middle managers in active clinical research programs in emergency medicine. They direct the day-to-day activities of the line RAs serving their shifts in the emergency department. They may become involved in all aspects of their site's research activities. With about a 20 hour per week commitment, full time employment outside the program is the norm. 

Complete information and application materials can be found on the NARAP website: www.theNARAP.org under the Chief Research Associates tab.
