About the role

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Clinical Research Project Manager to join the Department of Respiratory Sciences. As the Clinical Research Project Manager, you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of investigator-led national and international research studies within the NIHR-Biomedical Research Centre's Respiratory and Infection theme. Your role will involve coordinating all aspects of study management, including site feasibility, ethics approvals, participant recruitment, and ensuring studies are completed on time and within budget. You will work closely with both internal and external stakeholders, including NHS organisations, commercial partners, and academic collaborators.

Key responsibilities include facilitating study set-up and monitoring, preparing reports for key stakeholders, and ensuring adherence to regulatory guidelines. You will also be responsible for managing budgets and resources, as well as providing line management to members of the research team. Some UK travel, with occasional overnight stays, will be required, with the possibility of international travel.

About you

You should be educated to degree level (minimum 2:1) or have extensive experience in relevant roles, such as study management or coordination. A solid understanding of sponsor responsibilities, research governance, and regulatory guidelines for clinical research is essential, as is experience in managing ethical submissions for clinical studies. You should be comfortable using standard office systems, such as word processing and spreadsheets, and have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual who can manage multiple priorities, solve problems creatively, and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Experience in multi-centre trials and project management is crucial, and knowledge of medical or research terminology would be advantageous. A willingness to travel within the UK and work flexibly to meet study requirements is also essential.

If you are passionate about clinical research and ready to take on a leadership role in managing complex studies, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity at the University of Leicester.
