About Kinetic Clinical Research
Kinetic Clinical Research (“KCR”) is a rapidly growing, multi-site clinical research organization formed through the consolidation of several successful Southern California research sites. We partner closely with physicians to build high-quality, scalable clinical research programs that advance patient care while creating long-term professional and financial opportunities for our investigators.
We are expanding our dermatology research platform and are seeking a board-certified or board-eligible Dermatologist to join KCR as a Principal Investigator (PI).
The Opportunity
This role is ideal for a dermatologist who wants to:
- Participate in cutting-edge dermatology clinical trials
- Work in a well-resourced, research-first environment
- Reduce administrative burden while maintaining clinical leadership
- Join a growing organization with long-term upside and partnership potential
Role Overview
As a Principal Investigator, you will lead dermatology clinical trials and collaborate with KCR’s experienced operations, regulatory, recruitment, and quality teams. KCR provides the infrastructure — you provide clinical expertise and oversight.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as Principal Investigator on dermatology clinical trials (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, alopecia, vitiligo, skin infections, cosmetic dermatology, and other inflammatory or immunologic conditions)
- Provide medical oversight and ensure participant safety and protocol adherence
- Review and approve study protocols, informed consent forms, and safety reports
- Supervise Sub-Investigators and collaborate with CRCs and clinical staff
- Participate in Sponsor and CRO meetings, feasibility assessments, and monitoring visits
- Support patient recruitment and retention through clinical engagement
- Maintain compliance with FDA regulations, ICH-GCP, IRB requirements, and KCR SOPs
What We Offer
- Turnkey research infrastructure (CRC support, regulatory, recruitment, pharmacy, QA, and IT)
- Access to active and upcoming dermatology studies with leading Sponsors and CROs
- Flexible engagement models (part-time, per-diem, or study-based)
- Competitive hourly compensation
- Minimal administrative burden — focus on clinical leadership
- Transparent, physician-friendly leadership team
Growth & Partnership Potential
KCR is building a long-term dermatology research platform. Investigators who demonstrate strong study performance, leadership, and alignment with KCR’s mission may have opportunities to:
- Serve as Lead Investigator across multiple studies
- Participate in protocol selection and portfolio growth
- Progress toward profit-sharing based on contribution and site performance
(Partnership opportunities are not guaranteed but are a core part of KCR’s growth strategy.)
Qualifications
- MD or DO with Board Certification or Eligibility in Dermatology
- Active, unrestricted California medical license
- Prior PI or Sub-I experience preferred but not required
- GCP-trained or willing to complete GCP training
- Interest in clinical research and collaborative growth
Why Dermatologists Choose KCR
- We respect your time and expertise
- We invest in systems and staff — not shortcuts
- We view investigators as partners, not vendors
- We are building something scalable, reputable, and physician-led
