Director of the Sheffield Clinical Trials Research Unit

We are recruiting a Director for our Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU). CTRU is a UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC)-registered clinical trials unit providing high-quality support in running clinical trials in line with international regulatory standards, from the planning stages right through to analysis and reporting.

As the Director of the CTRU, you will have overall responsibility for a portfolio of trials and for developing and expanding the CTRU portfolio into trials of cancer interventions.

Leading a unit of nearly 100 researchers that sits in the School of Medicine and Population Health, you will make a full contribution to the vision and strategy of the University of Sheffield, delivering excellent teaching and research.

This is a tremendous opportunity to drive forward our tradition of excellence in clinical and translational research for the benefit of all our communities, work with our partners to address inequalities in healthcare and lead our ambition in line with Yorkshire Cancer Research (YCR) investment for a new Cancer Research Clinical Trials Centre at Sheffield to facilitate our vision.

You will join a friendly, highly collegial, innovative and collaborative research environment and, as a leader in your field, be excited by the opportunity to shape the clinical trials and cancer research agenda at the University of Sheffield; a top 100 University in the QS World Rankings with our research ranked in the top 10 for impact (REF2021).

If you share our ambitions and drive to make a positive difference, we would be delighted to talk to you.
