    The role includes scientific strategy development, research community-building, research management, evaluation, and communications (major projects can be tailored to suit the post-holder's skills and interests).

    About the Research Data Strategy

    We believe that the use of large-scale data using data science, including AI, will accelerate CRUK's ambition to beat cancer sooner.

    CRUK's Research Data Strategy was launched in summer 2022 and sets out our ambition in cancer research driven by big data and data science, that addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with this approach to cancer research.

    ~ 'data champions' scheme to support our standing funding committees consider cutting edge data science proposals.
    ~ our data-driven cancer research conference attended by over 300 colleagues from across the research community.

    In the coming months and years we are planning: a spatial biology data hackathon; to develop a training initiative to attract, retain and upskill cancer data scientists in academia; phase 2 of the data-driven research programme for cancer in children and young people's cancer, to name a subset of our plans.

    The Research Data Strategy aims to catalyse CRUK's progress in all aspects of its Research Strategy - prevention, detection, treatment, as well as discovery science.

    Working alongside the Head of Research Data Strategy in developing new activities to deliver the ambitions of the Research Data Strategy.

    Delivering the existing core portfolio of data initiatives (e.g. by providing leadership for the newly appointed leads of our various communities of special interest as part of the cancer data network), and support delivery of the wider data portfolio being led by colleagues in teams and directorates across the charity, e.g.

    research operations; policy and influencing; cancer intelligence (particularly the trusted research environment programme team); commercial, corporate and other strategic partnerships, including international; training and careers; Ensuring patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) and equality and diversity is embedded in all aspects of the Research Data Strategy portfolio and considered as part of the decisions taken, alongside our Public Involvement Lead.

    Delivering an effective governance structure for the Research Data Strategy both internally (e.g. by providing secretariat and strategic direction for the Data Steering Committee) and externally (e.g. by providing secretariat and strategic direction for the Data Advisory Board), including appropriate reporting metrics and review processes.

    Developing an understanding of CRUK's data science portfolio and act as a point of knowledge and expertise in the data portfolio, as well as an advocate for data science being a key type of research that CRUK supports across our funding streams.

    The post holder may have the opportunity to train for a Data Science Apprenticeship to top up skills in this area.

    Building and maintaining effective engagement with organisations involved in cancer data science, and managing key relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

    Educated to at least degree level in a science or health-related discipline, or equivalent experience.
    Experience of working in a relevant academic, industrial and/or research funding/management setting.
    Sound understanding of the data-driven biomedical research and funding landscape in the UK.
    Proven track record of leading on, managing, and delivering complex, multi-stakeholder projects successfully.
    Relevant experience of working with, coordinating, and influencing senior researchers and other senior stakeholders.
    Postgraduate qualification (preferably in a biomedical or relevant scientific subject).
    Knowledge of cancer research generally, or data science specifically.
    Confident in developing clarity when confronted with complex and shifting circumstances.
    Sound understanding of project and reputational risk, and confidence to escalate issues as appropriate.
    Sound understanding of the data science research and funding landscape.
    Experience of matrix management/coordination of teams of staff who are not your direct reports.
    Budget management experience.
