Do you want to be part of a successful, highly talented, and multi-disciplinary team? Are you an enthusiastic, driven postgraduate with a major statistical qualification, keen to lead a portfolio of trials research?
The Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU) is an international leader in the field of clinical trials.

The Unit is one of the largest in the UK and conducts national and international early phase and late phase clinical trials in a variety of clinical fields.

Our main aim is to develop and support novel and efficient trials to change clinical practice for the better. Our past results and current research have already helped to do this. Our results inform the academic development of this specialised field of clinical research on a national and international level.

Particularly, we specialise in complex phase III trials, early phase I/II trials, biomarker-driven designs, seamless phase II/III designs, adaptive designs and the development, optimisation and evaluation of complex interventions, including cluster randomised and complex factorial designs.

You will be a talented and dynamic individual with a postgraduate qualification, including a major statistical component, and an interest in evaluating novel treatments or interventions of pharmaceuticals, radiotherapy, surgery, medical devices or complex interventions.

You will have extensive applied experience in clinical trial statistics and/or medical statistics, project and people management, together with a nationally recognised research profile in clinical trials and/or medical statistics.
