Join Us at Civia Health

At Civia Health, Research Assistants play a key role in supporting clinical research operations and ensuring an exceptional experience for trial participants. We’re looking for a reliable, proactive team player who’s eager to grow in the world of clinical trials and contribute to meaningful, life-changing research.

At Civia Health, you're not just taking a job: You're joining a mission to transform the way clinical research is done. Our purpose is bold: to bring clinical trials front and center in your community, make them accessible to everyday people, and empower underrepresented communities to participate.

We’re reinventing how clinical studies are run, delivering valid, scalable evidence with a consumer-first mindset. Too often, trials are expensive, fragmented, and overlook the experience of the participant. At Civia, we’re changing that. Our leadership team are experienced industry leading, visionary professionals who know what’s broken — and how to fix it.

We treat participants like valued partners, not research subjects. That means supporting their agency, putting their needs, comfort, and enjoyment first — and rewarding them generously for their time and effort.

Every team member plays a crucial role in reshaping clinical research. You’ll help make studies more human-centered, inclusive, and efficient. We're looking for people who are driven by purpose, inspired by innovation, and ready to roll up their sleeves to do meaningful work.

At Civia, your contributions aren’t just transactional, they’re transformational.
