Physician Extender (PA or NP) / Sub-Investigator

Centricity Research/Lucas Research is a world-class Clinical Research multisite network and Endocrinology practice located on the coast outside of Raleigh, NC. Living at the beach makes for an easy escape from the day-to-day; but, what if your normal day was so enjoyable that you don’t necessarily need an escape? While our beaches are undeniably incredible, we like to think the luxuries of life on the Crystal Coast pale in comparison to the benefits of being on the Centricity Research team. Our multisite network consists of state-of-the-art facilities located in Morehead City and New Bern.

We recently joined Centricity Research, now offering contract research organizations (CROs) and sponsors access to more than 35 clinical research sites, reaching 8.5 million geographically and ethnically-diverse patients, and over 155 experienced investigators who perform trials in more than 20 therapeutic areas, including infectious disease, neurology, endocrinology, oncology, cardiology, dermatology, vaccines, and more.

We are NOT dependent on medical insurance as 90% of our revenue is earned through clinical research. That fact allows us to expand and serve our community in ways that most medical practices cannot.

Working with major pharmaceutical companies from all over the world is a dynamic aspect to our practice. Our clinical research business is more than Diabetes and Endocrinology, we are currently conducting research in various indications including Fatty liver/NASH, Orthopedics / Arthritis, Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Obesity, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Male hypogonadism, vaccines, and health patient trials.

We are changing the way medicine and clinical research are practiced. As an industry leader, our unique model continues to inspire our collaborators and partners across the industry. We’ve developed a unique patient care model that is focused on treating patients like VIP guests. It requires commitment and full collaboration from every level of our team. The result is a tight-knit, responsible team approach that our patients feel. It is why we have such intense loyalty from the community we serve.

If you have the heart of a servant, the brains to keep up with Jeannie (Dr. Lucas), and a hunger to be part of something changing the world, then we should talk.
