Job Description

Insight Global is seek a Phase I Oncology Clinical Research Nurse at Hackensack Meridian Health. They will coordinate and manage early-phase clinical trials in a high-volume oncology clinic, requiring flexibility based on daily patient schedules and evolving protocol demands. This role balances direct patient care with complex research responsibilities, including screening and enrolling patients, presenting and obtaining informed consent, conducting protocol-driven assessments, triaging patient calls, managing data queries, and ensuring accurate, audit-ready documentation. Due to the nature of Phase I trials—where dosing schedules are adjusted and no established therapeutic dose exists—the nurse participates in teleconferences, reviews protocol amendments, supports dose-escalation processes, and collaborates closely with investigators, pharmacists, regulatory teams, and data coordinators to ensure patient safety and compliance. Candidates must have a strong oncology background (primarily solid tumor experience, some hematology exposure), be highly detail-oriented, and thrive in a fast-paced clinical research environment; Phase I experience is preferred, though broader oncology research experience will be considered.
