Clinical Research Assistant

About Paradromics

Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible. Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. 

Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to progressive neuromuscular diseases and neural injury such as ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.

The Role

The Clinical Research Assistant (CRA) will support the successful execution of early feasibility and first-in-human clinical studies by ensuring clinical operations are organized, compliant, and progressing on schedule. Reporting to the Director of Clinical Affairs, this role works closely with clinical sites, investigators, IRBs, and internal cross-functional teams to manage documentation, data, and study coordination activities.

This position is well-suited for someone who thrives in fast-moving, early-stage environments and is excited to help build the clinical foundation for a novel implantable neurotechnology.

Responsibilities

• Support day-to-day execution of early feasibility and first-in-human clinical studies, ensuring study activities remain organized, compliant, and on track
• Maintain inspection-ready clinical documentation, including site files, study logs, training records, and sponsor files
• Coordinate site operations such as screening, follow-up visits, monitoring activities, and reporting to prevent administrative or documentation-related delays
• Manage IRB submissions and ongoing oversight across multiple sites, including initial submissions, continuing reviews, amendments, reportable events, and correspondence
• Track and support study data quality by assisting with CRF completion, source document review, and timely query resolution
• Ensure consistent application of protocol requirements and Good Clinical Practice (GCP), identifying deviations or site questions early and escalating as appropriate
• Support development and continuous improvement of clinical trackers, templates, and workflows to improve operational consistency across sites
• Communicate clearly and professionally with investigators, site coordinators, and internal stakeholders

Required Education

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, health sciences, nursing, biomedical engineering, or a related field (or equivalent clinical research experience)

Required Qualifications

• 1–3+ years of clinical research experience as a Clinical Research Assistant, Clinical Research Coordinator, or in a similar role, preferably in medical device studies
• Strong understanding of clinical research fundamentals, including GCP, informed consent, source documentation, CRFs, and site-based study conduct
• Demonstrated experience managing clinical documentation, trackers, and deadlines with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting early feasibility or first-in-human studies, including small-N trials and heightened regulatory oversight
• Exposure to medical device or neurotechnology studies, particularly implantable devices (e.g., DBS, SCS, implantable BCI)
• Familiarity with regulatory documentation such as IDE-related materials, IRB submissions, protocol amendments, and inspection readiness activities

Paradromics is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
