Job Description

We assure you, this will be the easiest job you have ever had! Consulting pediatricians will visit Eurofins CRL in Austin Texas, directly prior to and following the use of the assigned test product for each study. Most studies require 35-50 subjects, which we typically process in 3-4 hours. ECRL staff will perform all logistical management of study subjects, including consenting, handing out products, and datasheet/paperwork completion. Consulting pediatricians will observe the body part where the product is being used (e.g. arms and legs, face, torso, diaper region, etc.) for signs of irritation.

Depending upon the needs of our clients, some studies may not require a pediatrician to perform examinations, only review study results. In such cases the consulting pediatrician will be listed as the Principal Investigator or Sub-Investigator and be required to review and sign a written protocol prior to study initiation. In instances where the pediatrician is not required to perform evaluations, trained ECRL staff will perform the evaluations per the protocol, and the pediatrician will then review and sign the Final Report once the study is complete.

When a study is commissioned, we would contact you to determine your availability, then schedule approximately 4-8 hours for the baseline visit and 4-8 hours for the follow up visit (typically occuring 2-4 weeks after baseline) at your convenience. Currently our needs may be sporadic, but eventually we hope to increase business so that we may need you for 2 or more studies a month. The option to decline participation would be available for all studies.
