Project Manager

We are looking for a dynamic and highly committed Project Manager with a passion for working in low to middle income countries to co-ordinate our study examining culturally contextualised technological solutions for people with epilepsy in resource poor settings.

 

Epilepsy is one of the most common serious neurological conditions affecting around 50 million people worldwide. 80 to 85% of people with epilepsy live in low resource settings where access to accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can be very limited. The lack of infrastructure and the deep stigmatisation of epilepsy further compound these difficulties. The Oxford Martin Programme on Global Epilepsy aims to tackle the diagnostic gap by building culturally contextualised technologies that can be delivered at scale. The eventual aim is empower primary health care workers to help streamline the care pathway for people who have seizures.

 

The current role is instrumental in the delivery of our Oxford Martin Programme on Global Epilepsy. If appointed, you will be dedicated to ensuring the success of the project and be committed to improving the care of people with epilepsy worldwide. You will be co-ordinating a large, ambitious programme with multiple inter-locking workstreams. You will need to liaise with multiple partners across Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe – our core collaborating sites. You will also be working with Principal Investigators across multiple departments within University of Oxford. As such, time management, cultural sensitivity and the ability to deliver work on time and to a very high standard are mandatory requirements. You will need to have outstanding communication skills across all media and be keen to develop and deliver communication strategies for this and our other programmes in Global Epilepsy. Being a team player with an egalitarian approach and having clear regard for our international colleagues is essential.
