Summary

The Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center (DLDCCC) has an immediate opening for a Regulatory Affairs Specialist. The Regulatory Affairs Specialist, as a member of the Clinical Trials Support Unit of the DLDCCC, works to provide regulatory support and Investigator Site File maintenance to physician investigators in one or more designated oncology disease areas. This support includes, but is not limited to preparing clinical trial submissions for review by internal and external regulatory agencies and oversight bodies, maintaining physical and/or electronic regulatory records for existing and future clinical trials and assisting investigators and study staff with interpreting local, federal and international clinical research regulations.

The selected candidate will be entrusted with proprietary research information, such as clinical trial protocols, drug brochures and research data. As such, it is important that the individual be appreciative of the confidential nature of many of the tasks and duties assigned to them.
