At Omega CRO, we are looking for an experienced Clinical Research Associate (CRA) to take on the monitor and monitoring responsibilities defined in section 8 of the Good Clinical Practice Guideline (01.02.2024).

Depending on the nature and risks of the research, you will also apply remote monitoring approaches.

During monitoring visits, you will verify case report form (CRF) data against source records; ensure dose changes, adverse events, concomitant medications and missed visits or tests are reported per protocol; confirm informed consent forms are complete and that investigational products are stored correctly, dispensed to eligible volunteers at protocol-specified doses and durations, and documented on receipt, use and return.

You will also act as the communication channel between the sponsor and investigators, follow up safety reporting to the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, the ethics committee and the sponsor, report protocol and GCP deviations to the principal investigator with corrective steps, and submit written monitoring reports after every visit, covering your observations, findings and actions taken.
