Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity to join the South Tees Academic Cardiovascular Unit (ACU). We are looking to appoint a Senior Research Manager to lead the development, management and execution of funded ACU research and activities. The Senior Research Manager will coordinate multi-disciplinary team(s) to manage ACU projects throughout their life cycles.
The role requires a research professional with experience and excellence in conduct and management of clinical and translational research, including familiarity with the regulatory environment surrounding clinical trials. As the research focuses on cardiovascular and thoracic research, relevant experience of working with/understanding of these will be considered an advantage.
This is a full-time post for 2 years in the first instance with the possibility of an extension following a satisfactory review of performance and confirmation of funding.
Main duties of the job
This will include protocol refinement, study set-up (including regulatory approvals), site and progress monitoring, on-going study management, closeout and reporting with the Chief Investigators (CI). The post holder will ensure that the studies are conducted in accordance with the relevant clinical trial regulations. The post holder will also contribute to development and submission of related publications and grant applications.
This will be an exciting opportunity for someone with trial management or co-ordination experience who relishes a challenge, is keen to use their own initiative, and is flexible to the changing demands of the research. You will need to be self-motivated, a strong communicator, and be able to work independently as well as within a team environment.
