What research work looks like in healthcare technology
This category covers clinical research and trials, scientific and medical affairs, health economics and outcomes research, and applied research in areas like machine learning for imaging or diagnostics. The output might be a study supporting regulatory clearance, real-world evidence for a payer coverage decision, a publication with a health system partner, or validation work behind an algorithm.
Employers include medical device and diagnostics manufacturers, digital therapeutics and digital health companies, imaging and AI vendors, life sciences data firms, and provider-affiliated research organizations. Work runs through IRB submissions, study protocols, site coordination, data collection standards, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation.
Employers commonly ask for advanced degrees for scientist and HEOR roles, GCP familiarity and trial operations experience for clinical research roles, and strong statistical tooling skills in R, Python, SAS, or similar for quantitative positions.

Research jobs: frequently asked questions
- Does this include user research?
- No. UX and user research roles classify under design. This category covers clinical, scientific, and outcomes research.
- Is an advanced degree required?
- For scientist, biostatistics, and HEOR roles, usually. Clinical research coordination and associate roles more often accept bachelor's-level candidates with study experience.
- Are research roles field-based?
- Some are. Clinical research associates and medical science liaisons commonly travel to sites, while data-focused research roles are often remote.
- Where do these research listings come from?
- JoinHealthTech.com monitors healthcare employer career sites directly rather than aggregating from other job boards. Each listing records when we last confirmed it during a successful check, and applying always sends you to the employer's own careers site.
- Can I get alerts for new research roles?
- Yes. Save this category as a job alert — optionally narrowed by location, salary, or employer — and we email you when newly discovered research roles match. Alert delivery is a Pro feature.
