GUCR Research Assistant

The STAMPEDE trial (Systemic Therapy in Advancing or Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Evaluation of Drug Efficacy) is the world’s largest therapeutic prostate cancer clinical trial and tested several new treatment approaches for people affected by locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. The trial recruited nearly 12,000 participants between 2005 and 2023. The Genito-Urinary Cancer Research (GUCR) group, co-led by Mr Ashwin Sachdeva and Professor Noel Clarke, has centralised radiological scans from several thousand patients recruited to this trial.

The post will be hosted within the GUCR group at Surgical Research Hub within the newly built Paterson Cancer Research Centre. You will be part of the multi-disciplinary GUCR team, which comprises research-active clinicians and academic researchers. The team is closely linked to the wider academic and clinical prostate cancer research environments within the University of Manchester and The Christie Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity to participate in clinical research within an established multidisciplinary team with a track record in undertaking trial-related medical imaging research which has led to several changes in clinical practice globally. You will develop/expand your skill base in data acquisition, management and security and have the potential to conduct studies related to key clinical outcomes of interest.

What you will get in return:

• Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
• Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
• Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
• Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
• Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers
