Principal Investigator, MD

Reports to: Medical Director

Join Us at Civia Health

At Civia Health, we’re reimagining how clinical trials are delivered—by putting patients first and empowering providers to lead innovation. We’re seeking an experienced and compassionate Principal Investigator (PI) to oversee Phase 2–4 clinical trials in a collaborative, mission-driven environment. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring scientific integrity, patient safety, and regulatory compliance while contributing to groundbreaking research.

At Civia Health, you're not just taking a job: You're joining a mission to transform the way clinical research is done. Our purpose is bold: to bring clinical trials front and center in your community, make them accessible to everyday people, and empower underrepresented communities to participate.

We’re reinventing how clinical studies are run, delivering valid, scalable evidence with a consumer-first mindset. Too often, trials are expensive, fragmented, and overlook the experience of the participant. At Civia, we’re changing that. Our leadership team are experienced industry leading, visionary professionals who know what’s broken — and how to fix it.

We treat participants like valued partners, not research subjects. That means supporting their agency, putting their needs, comfort, and enjoyment first — and rewarding them generously for their time and effort.
