Fieve, MD - the Columbia University psychiatrist who established lithium therapy for bipolar disorder in the U.S. - Fieve Clinical Research has been part of Manhattan's clinical research landscape for more than 40 years. Our investigators have conducted 125+ trials across psychiatry, neurology, pain management, and internal medicine, working with major pharmaceutical sponsors and leading CROs including IQVIA and ICON.

Qualifications - Preferred

• 1-3+ years as a sub-investigator or investigator on industry-sponsored trials (not required - training provided)
