EDC Specialist, Limited Term

DelRicht Research
Metairie, LA Full Time | Contractor
POSTED ON 9/18/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/17/2026

Why DelRicht Research?

Would you love to be a part of healthcare and science innovation? Are you looking for a short-term role where careful, detail-oriented work directly supports clinical trial activity? If the answer is yes, then DelRicht Research might be the right opportunity for you.

This limited-term contract role is designed for someone early in their career who wants hands-on exposure to clinical research, healthcare operations, or data-related work. You do not need prior clinical research experience; we'll train you on the systems, processes, and priorities you'll need to be successful.

Who We Are

DelRicht Research is an integrated organization of premier investigational sites in the United States. Our mission is to move medicine forward by providing the best quality service to our clients and engaging more volunteers in clinical research.

EDC Specialist's Main Objective

As an EDC Specialist, Limited Term, you'll support sponsor-facing clinical trial work through accurate, timely data entry and related operational tasks. The day-to-day scope is similar to the full-time version of the role, with a focus on maintaining data quality, following structured processes, and helping the team stay on track during a period of increased trial activity.

You'll likely be a strong fit if you can manage your work accurately, review details carefully, and stay on top of assigned tasks while working independently in a remote environment. This role requires professionalism, communication skills, and attention to detail to do high-quality work without close day-to-day oversight.

  • Enter and maintain clinical trial data accurately and consistently in the systems used for this work
  • Complete assigned daily tasks while managing your own time and priorities
  • Review your work carefully to help ensure data quality before submission
  • Communicate clearly with team members when you have questions, need help prioritizing, or identify an issue
  • Support routine operational workflows tied to clinical research studies
  • Follow training, procedures, and guidance to complete work in line with team expectations
  • Help the team stay on track during a period of increased trial activity

Skills Needed to Win

  • Careful review of your work to catch errors and maintain accuracy
  • Ability to stay organized and manage a task list independently in a remote setting
  • Dependability, including showing up on time and following through on assigned work
  • Clear communication skills and willingness to ask questions when priorities or instructions are unclear
  • Sound judgment and problem-solving skills when managing competing tasks
  • Professional work experience, internship experience, or other experience that demonstrates accountability and follow-through
  • Interest in healthcare, clinical research, data, or a related field
  • Comfort working in a role where quality matters and mistakes can create downstream issues for the team and sponsors

The Right Candidate Will

  • Prior exposure to clinical research, healthcare, patient scheduling, medical assistant work, data entry, or administrative operations
  • Experience working with structured processes, checklists, task queues, or high-volume detail-oriented work
  • A background or interest in healthcare, research, data-focused work, or a related field

What Will Help You Succeed

You'll be most successful here if you ask questions as you learn, review your work carefully for accuracy, and manage your tasks without close day-to-day oversight. We can train you on clinical research processes and the specific day-to-day tasks, but you should already be able to stay organized, follow through on assigned work, and maintain quality in a remote setting.

This role is not the right fit for you if you want to complete tasks quickly without careful review. We value slower, accurate work over fast, sloppy work in this role.

Compensation and Term

  • Compensation range: $20 to $22/hr
  • Limited-term contract role
  • Expected need is approximately 3–4 months
  • Multiple hires are planned for this role, with start dates determined during the hiring process

Why This Role May Be a Great Fit

This role can be a valuable way for you to build relevant experience in healthcare, clinical research, or data-related work. You'll gain practical exposure to clinical trial operations and data quality standards, along with structured training and real responsibility from the start.
