Associate Principal Investigator Scheme Coordinator

This role will be based at the NIHR CRN Leeds or London offices, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Do you have exceptional communication and organisational skills with an ability to manage and coordinate the delivery of projects? Are you keen to work in a fast-paced, proactive and innovative environment?  Would you like to develop your skills and gain experience working with the researchers of the future, interacting with a range of stakeholders?

The Associate Principal Investigator (Associate PI) scheme aims to develop junior doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to become the Principal Investigators of the future and provides formal recognition of a trainee's engagement in NIHR Portfolio research studies through the conferment of Associate Principal Investigator status endorsed by the NIHR and the medical Royal Colleges.

As the Associate PI scheme coordinator you will play a key role in the delivery and expansion of the Associate PI scheme within the Clinical Research Network Coordinating Centre. You will proactively develop and promote the Associate PI scheme with key stakeholders in the clinical research community.

At the University of Leeds, we are committed to providing a culture of inclusion, respect and equity of opportunity that attracts, supports, and retains the best students and staff from all backgrounds.

We have identified that disabled people and Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people are currently underrepresented in this role and particularly welcome applications. Candidates will always be selected based on merit and ability.
