Data Assistant

Salary on appointment will be £26,707 per annum, with an annual increment up to £30,378 per annum 

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Norwich Clinical Trials Unit, ideally suited to fast learners with a technical aptitude who wish to start their career in clinical data management within a CTU.

Norwich CTU staff work with investigators and research teams to design, conduct, analyse and report high quality clinical trials and other well-designed studies that fit with the research strategies of NRP partners including NNUH and UEA. 

You would be based within the Data Management (DM) team and, under the supervision of the Head of Data Management, support database programmers in the delivery of externally funded research studies.  

This post would therefore appeal to people who have an interest in data and an eye for detail, and who would like to grow those skills within an established CTU. 

Whilst most CTU staff are currently working in a hybrid arrangement, regular on-site attendance is expected.  

This full-time post is available immediately on a fixed term basis for 12 months. 

UEA offers a variety of flexible working options and although this role is advertised on a full-time basis, we encourage applications from individuals who would prefer a flexible working pattern including annualised hours, compressed working hours, part time, job share, term-time only and/or hybrid working. Details of preferred hours should be stated in the personal statement and will be discussed further at interview. 

Further information on our great benefits package, including 34 days annual leave inclusive of Bank Holidays and additional University Customary days (pro rata for part-time), can be found on our benefits page. 

Closing date: 8 March 2026

The University holds an Athena Swan Silver Institutional Award in recognition of our advancement towards gender equality.
