Director of the Sheffield Clinical Trials Research Unit

We are recruiting a Director for our Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU). The Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU) is a UKCRC-registered clinical trials unit providing high-quality support in running clinical trials in line with international regulatory standards, from the planning stages right through to analysis and reporting.

As the Director of the CTRU, you will be responsible for a portfolio of trials and for developing and expanding the CTRU portfolio into trials of cancer interventions.

Leading a unit of nearly 100 researchers that sits in the School of Medicine and Population Health, you will make a full contribution to the vision and strategy of the University of Sheffield, delivering excellent teaching and research.

This is a tremendous opportunity to drive forward our tradition of excellence in clinical and translational research for the benefit of all our communities, work with our partners to address inequalities in healthcare and lead our ambition for a new Cancer Research Clinical Trials Centre at Sheffield to facilitate our vision.

You will join a friendly, highly collegial, innovative and collaborative research environment and, as a leader in your field, be excited by the opportunity to shape the clinical trials and cancer research agenda at the University of Sheffield; a top 100 University in the QS World Rankings with our research ranked in the top 10 for impact (REF2021).

You will have a generous package to support your research, which includes research consumables, staff and funding for PhD student(s), plus a dedicated relocation service to help you settle in at Sheffield.

If you share our ambitions and drive to make a positive difference, we would be delighted to talk to you.
