At ICON, it's our people that set us apart.

The SIte Engagement Liaison (SEL) will develop relationships with clinical trial investigators and research site staff to facilitate recruitment of subjects in pharmaceutical industry clinical trials for which ICON serves as the contract research organization (CRO). The SEL will work in concert with ICON's clinical research associates (CRAs) and the study team to ensure that investigators and site staff have a thorough understanding of the investigational agents being used in the study, the trial's eligibility criteria, and all study procedures.

The SEL will function as part of the study team and will interact frequently with sponsor companies and their field personnel.
