This is an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Research Fellow to take part in the wide range of ongoing research activity primarily working on vaccine trials run by the St George’s Vaccine Institute. The St George’s Vaccine Institute (SGVI) is based in the Institute for Infection and Immunity and is comprised of the adult vaccine team and the paediatric vaccine team delivering adult, pediatric and maternal vaccine trials. The Institute for Infection and Immunity is involved in infection related research and teaching programmes, and it has strong links to St George’s University Hospitals NHS Trust. 

The post holder will be responsible for the day-to-day organisation and running of vaccine trials and other infectious disease studies. This may include the preparation and submission of ethics and grant applications. The post holder will have a strong interest in infectious diseases, vaccinology or public health. It is anticipated that during this 12-month period the individual will, if they wish, and with support, work on funding applications to allow further, more detailed research focussing on any one of these areas, which can then lead to a higher degree.
