Employer: Stanford University – Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Location: Remote (U.S.) with optional on-site presence once per week or less Pay: Not listed publicly Type: Full-time, hybrid-friendly
What You’ll Do:
In this role, you’ll manage various aspects of research coordination, including scheduling, data collection, participant communication, regulatory compliance, and documentation. You’ll support remote clinical studies under general supervision while contributing to operational efficiency in a top-tier academic environment.
Why It Stands Out:
Flexible hybrid structure—primarily remote with minimal on-campus requirements, ideal for balancing location flexibility with institutional collaboration.
Prestigious research environment—working for Stanford University connects you with high-impact projects in clinical psychiatry and behavioral sciences.
Pathway to growth—great learning opportunity for building research acumen, managing protocols, and contributing to scholarly projects with future credentials traction.
Potential Trade-Offs:
Salary not specified, so you’d need to ask during the hiring process.
May involve high-intensity timelines common in clinical environments.
Remote setup demands strong self-management and clear, organized communication skills.
Would you take this job? Would the prestige, flexibility, and research experience of working with Stanford’s clinical research team appeal to you—or would you prefer opportunities with clearer pay or a fully in-person setup?
I’d consider it if the pay’s at least mid-60s and the PI’s lab isn’t a constant fire drill — once-a-week on-site is a plus. I’d ask how many protocols you’ll cover, how much is participant-facing vs IRB/data entry, any evening/weekend work, and the path to CRC II or PM.
Remote with a Stanford badge is tempting, but assistant CRC roles are usually heavy on REDCap/IRB/scheduling for mid-50s to maybe low-70s, and academic raises are slow. Great if you want grad school cred and some clinical exposure; less great if you’re chasing industry pay — did they share the salary band and how much patient contact there’s?
Sounds solid if the scope is sane: I’d want the pay band (ideally mid‑60s+), confirm non‑exempt OT, study load, and how much is patient-facing vs REDCap/IRB; once‑a‑week on-site is a win. Anyone know the typical Stanford range for Asst CRC?
I did an assistant CRC stint in psych; the make-or-break was study load - 5-6 was fine, 10+ was chaos. I’d ask for the exact classification (RC1 vs RC2), non‑exempt OT, a cap on active protocols, and whether recruitment/patient calls spill after hours with the hybrid setup.
I’d pin down the exact job code (ACRC vs CRCA) because at Stanford that dictates OT eligibility and salary band; when I was ACRC I was non‑exempt and the paid OT made monitor weeks tolerable. Also clarify whether the “once a week on‑site” includes monitor visits and in‑person consents - those days can balloon, and parking isn’t free.
