Summary
University of Sheffield
Applications are invited for the post of Programme Manager to lead operational delivery of the EPICGB Programme – Early Phase Interventions Centre for Translation in Glioblastoma. EPICGB establishes a Yorkshire Cancer Research funded, multi-centre, adaptive clinical trial platform to improve brain cancer treatment. The position is based within Sheffield’s Translational Neuro-Oncology Research Group (STraNO) in the School of Medicine and Population Health, but will involve deep working partnership with the ICR Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit (ICR -CTSU, London), University of Glasgow, EPICGB recruiting centres, patient advocates, industrial, charitable and academic collaborators from around the UK and internationally.
EPICGB is an ambitious, large-scale research programme designed to accelerate access to life-extending therapies for patients with glioblastoma by establishing an adaptive, multi-cohort clinical trial platform integrating pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical outcome data to prioritise treatments with the greatest likelihood of benefit. The programme brings together a network of NHS and academic partners across Yorkshire and the UK to deliver innovative window-of-opportunity (WOO) studies and translational analyses.
You will be a highly organised and proactive professional with experience managing complex projects in research, clinical or translational environments. You will have excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, and the ability to drive delivery across multidisciplinary teams.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
