Job description:

The Role

The post is within the UK CRC registered Newcastle Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU). This is a multi-faceted post requiring you to set-up, manage, co-ordinate and support clinical trials to ensure that they are conducted in line with sponsor, regulatory and research governance requirements. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team including Senior Trial Managers, Clinical Trial Administrators, Statisticians, Data Managers, Chief Investigators and members of Trial Management Groups and other stakeholders to ensure successful completion of trials.

There are currently approximately 50 active trials being conducted by NCTU. NCTU works with multiple trial sponsors, locally, nationally and internationally and from two main hubs in Newcastle and South Tees. Chief Investigators, Principal Investigators and Co-Investigators are located throughout and beyond the University. You will be expected to work at both sites depending on the needs of individual trials and NCTU.

It is likely that you will be working on a portfolio of between 2 and 4 trials at any one time, though this will vary. The trials will be of varying types of intervention and may be single or multi-centre. There will be opportunity to input academically and operationally to trial development and to have this recognised in publications.

This is a full-time, open-ended post.
