• The post is offered at senior lecturer level, but an appointment at a higher grade might be considered for a suitably-qualified candidate.
• The post holder’s primary base will be the CTU, currently based at the University of Brighton site in Falmer.
• The successful applicant will have a strong background in clinical research focused on trial methodology, management and governance. Personal research experience at CI/PI level is essential, and we seek an individual with prior managerial experience within a Clinical Trials Unit.

Provisional accreditation was granted two years ago and one of key roles of the appointee to this post will be to oversee the expansion of the unit’s portfolio of activities with a view to achieving full registration status by May 2021.
• The successful development of a fully-registered CTU is a major element in the developing research strategy of the School, and will complement the existing research infrastructure which includes newly-built laboratory accommodation, a fully-functional and well-staffed Clinical Research Facility, modern imaging sciences centre, the recently-formed JCRO, as well as SHORE-C, an international centre in psycho-oncology.
• The appointee will be expected to work with our partner Universities as well as Trusts within the region, particularly BSUHT and Sussex Partnership Trust (SPT), and to develop close working relationships with the Local Clinical Research Network (LCRN), Research Design Service (RDS), and regional Academic Health Science Network.
• The appointee would also be expected to develop and lead a personal programme of research focused on research methodology and trial design and contribute to the wider academic activities within BSMS.
