Haifa, IL, 3508504

Clinical Research Associate (CRA)

Novocure is a global publicly-traded commercial-stage oncology company developing a profoundly different cancer treatment therapy called tumor treating fields (TTFields) for patients with solid tumors. TTFields therapy is a non-invasive, novel, antimitotic treatment modality that utilizes proprietary technology attempting to slow or reverse tumor progression by inducing tumor cell death. Novocure's commercialized product, Optune, is approved for the treatment of adult patients with glioblastoma (GBM) in the USA, Europe, and Israel. Novocure has ongoing or completed clinical trials and is further expanding its efforts into several other solid tumor indications - non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other types of solid cancers. 

We are looking for a CRA who will provide essential support in the planning, execution, and management of clinical trials.

This role is pivotal in ensuring that our clinical trials are conducted efficiently, in compliance with regulatory standards, and with the highest level of quality.

  • Schedule and coordinate meetings, teleconferences, and site visits
  • Assist in organizing and distributing study materials and supplies to the investigational site
  • Facilitate communication between internal teams, CRO, and external vendors, ensuring smooth study operations
  • Ability to build and maintain relationships with various stakeholders
  • Assist in the preparation of study-related presentations, reports, and summaries for internal and external purposes
  • Support the clinical team in various tasks as needed, contributing to the overall success of the clinical trials

QUALIFICATIONS/KNOWLEDGE:

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in related field (medical science, life sciences, healthcare, nursing) – must
  • Master’s degree in related field – advantage
  • CRA/GCP certificate – mus t
  • At least 2 years of  experience as study coordinator / CRA – must
  • Previous experience in pharma/biotech/medical device – advantage
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to handle multiple tasks and prioritize effectively
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Good communication skills in Hebrew and English
  • High level of integrity and commitment to maintaining confidentiality and quality standards

AACR-Novocure Career Development Award for Cancer Research

The AACR-Novocure Career Development Award for Cancer Research represents a joint effort to promote and support early-career investigators who are conducting innovative research focused on Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields; intermediate frequency, low intensity, alternating electric fields that disrupt cell division in cancer cells) as well as to encourage early-career investigators to enter the TTFields research field.  The Inovitro® system (which will provided by Novocure, if needed), must be included in the experimental design . These grants are intended to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of action of this novel anti-cancer treatment modality and to accelerate the development of new treatment strategies to advance therapeutic options for cancer. The research proposed for funding may be basic or translational in nature; however, studies promoting the transition of in vitro work into in vivo systems, combination therapies involving TTFields, or translational projects bringing treatments involving TTFields into the clinic will be prioritized.

Each award provides $300,000 over three years for expenses related to the research project, which may include salary and benefits of the grant recipient and any collaborators, postdoctoral or clinical research fellows, graduate students and/or research assistants; research/laboratory supplies; equipment; travel; publication charges for manuscripts that pertain directly to the funded project; other research expenses; and indirect costs.

Program Guidelines and Application Instructions  are available for download. Please read all program guidelines and instructions carefully before submitting an application.

Research proposals must incorporate use of the Inovitro® system into the experimental design.  For grant recipients who are affiliated with institutions that do not currently hold a Materials Transfer Agreement (MTA) with Novocure for use of its devices, Novocure will provide this system to complete the research. For additional details, please see the MTA and Terms and Conditions. If selected for funding, Novocure will work with the institution to execute an MTA.

Research projects should examine the use of  TTFields  as a therapeutic modality for cancer. Proposals may include 1) Basic and translational approaches, promoting the transition of TTFields in vitro work into in vivo systems, 2) Studies that link preclinical and clinical data, or 3) Studies with ability to translate into the clinic for the cancer treatment.

Projects focused on one or more of the areas outlined below are strongly encouraged , provided they incorporate the use of Inovitro® and/or inovivo® systems:

  • Key cancer-related signaling and cellular pathways
  • Metabolic effects of TTFields
  • Studies that include Omics data (genomics, transcriptomic, proteomics)
  • TTFields immunological aspects and the potential combination with immunotherapy
  • Combinational studies with approved agents, preferably to include mechanistic aspects

Applicants must be AACR Active members and have a doctoral degree (PhD, MD, MD/PhD, or equivalent) in a related field and not currently be a candidate for a further doctoral degree. At the start of the grant term on December 1, 2024, applicants must:

  • Hold a faculty position with the title of assistant professor, instructor, research assistant professor, or the equivalent
  •  Received first faculty position with the title of assistant professor, instructor, research assistant, or the equivalent  within the past 6 years  ( before December 1, 2024)
  • Have independent laboratory space as confirmed by their institution
  • Work at at academic, medical, or research institution anywhere in the world

There are no citizenship requirements; however, by submitting an application for this grant, an applicant applying from an institution located in a country in which they are not a citizen or a permanent resident assures that the visa status will provide sufficient time to complete the project and grant term at the institution from which they applied.
