Data Manager

Are you an enthusiastic and driven individual with a good working knowledge of Data Management? Do you want to ensure quality standards in data collection to provide reliable answers to key research questions for patient benefit? Do you want to join a successful, highly talented and multi-disciplinary team in a large, well-established academic unit?

We are seeking to appoint a Data Manager to join our world leading team in the Academic Unit for Ageing & Stroke Research (ASR), Leeds Institute of Health Sciences, located at the Bradford Institute for Health Research. The ASR is a long-established applied health research centre with an international reputation for research related to older people and stroke. Our research outputs have directly influenced UK healthcare policy, are cited in clinical guidelines worldwide, and have led to international changes in practice for the identification and management of older people living with frailty.

You will join our growing Ageing Research Data Science team and take responsibility for the data management of our research studies from set-up through to study closure and analysis. This will involve the acquisition and management of research data, creating and managing study specific databases and supervising staff members. The ASR has a portfolio of new and ongoing research with data management requirements, including establishment of a data repository for ageing research trials in preparation for individual participant data meta-analysis (IPDMA), the Community Ageing Research 75+ prospective cohort study, the Wellbeing in Later Life in Bradford cohort study and routine health data research.

You will have experience of data management, ideally gained working on health and social care research, along with an up-to-date knowledge of legislation, regulation and governance relevant to personal and research data. As you will work closely, interactively and collaboratively with numerous stakeholders you will need excellent communication, interpersonal and team working skills, along with the ability to manage and meet deadlines.
