You will lead innovation in the renal clinical trials space in this unique collaboration between the Universities of Glasgow and Dundee, the Scottish Renal Research Network and AstraZeneca, and study for a higher degree over a 2-year period.
We’re looking to transform the conduct of renal trials and improve kidney care for patients in Scotland through improving referral networks for studies, deployment of novel data science techniques including ground-breaking machine learning and targeted interventions to improve care at a local level. You will work with Dr Samira Bell (University of Dundee) and a co-clinical supervisor from AstraZeneca to define objectives around driving rapid recruitment into three large CKD clinical trials which are starting in 2024-2025. Your role initially will be to strengthen referral networks between local healthcare providers and the University to improve recruitment of CKD patients to studies who could benefit from further intervention.

Finally, you’ll begin to develop links with your chosen global study team, where you can delve deeply into the science of one of the compounds under development and have the opportunity to participate in science publications with AstraZeneca colleagues.
