The Diabetes Research Centre (University of Leicester) and NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre are looking for a talented, motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the team as Grade 7 Postdoctoral Research Associate.
The Diabetes Research Centre host a multidisciplinary team of internationally renowned researchers who work collaboratively to investigate how therapies used in the management of obesity and/or type 2 diabetes work to affect whole body health, either in isolation or when combined with exercise or nutrition therapies. This includes a growing portfolio of industry collaborations and funding which require complex regulatory processes and approvals (including MHRA).
The post holder will work closely with principal investigators, other senior researchers and a senior Research Fellow to support and increase research income from industry partners and deliver funded work to time and target. They will be responsible for supporting relationships with internal and external partners, preparation of funding applications, as well as helping develop the systems and processes needed to expedite contracts and regulatory approvals. In addition, they will support new regulatory approvals from start to finish, including protocol development, submission, and end-of-trial reporting, as well as subsequent dissemination, and publication. This will involve working closely with various supporting structures and teams across the Diabetes Research Centre, College of Life Sciences, and wider University, as well as close external partners such as University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
