Are you enthusiastic, able to work autonomously with excellent interpersonal and project management skills? Do you have an interest in early phase research?
We are seeking a Research Project Manager (RPM) whose tasks will include project management and oversight of investigator-led studies within the Experimental Cancer Medicine Team. You will be involved in the project management of DETERMINE, alongside staff based at Cancer Research UK and other academic institutions. DETERMINE is a groundbreaking precision medicine clinical trial with an associated translational research programme looking to explore treatment options for patients with rare cancers.
You will have skills in scientific writing, grant preparation/submission, ethics applications, an ability to identify and breakdown tasks required for multidisciplinary research projects, and to assign tasks, monitor, and report progress.
This role is advertised as a 12-month post with the potential to extend. The vacancy may be closed early if there are a high number of applicants.
The RPM will play a key role in supporting and developing projects in order to maximise the investigator-led/sponsored research output of the Experimental Cancer Medicine Team (ECMT), developing strong relationships within the ECMT and with external partners, in particular CRUK.
The position will involve close liaison with a wide range of academic, clinical, managerial, and administrative staff throughout the Trust, universities, particularly the University of Manchester, healthcare institutions, grant funding bodies, and pharmaceutical companies.
The RPM will be required to autonomously manage the Manchester-led activity for DETERMINE. The RPM will lead on tasks including the development of reports and scientific publications, patient and public involvement and engagement activities, and will be expected to attend and lead meetings with the ability to understand scientific, clinical research, and commissioning topics.
In addition to investigator-led project work, the RPM will also have an administrative role in support of the ECMT leadership team and fostering collaborations with commercial partners.
Applicants are encouraged to arrange a call with the team.
