The School of Infection & Immunity is seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated, and well-organized project manager to oversee the operational delivery of GLOBE IT, an experimental medicine study exploring the molecular signatures of obesity and weight loss in psoriatic arthritis.

This is a multi-centre study with recruitment sites across Scotland and England. While the initial funding is for set-up and regulatory submission activities, it is intended that the successful candidate will lead the study throughout its entire project lifecycle (dependent on successful contract completion), managing all phases from start-up to close-out, ensuring its successful execution by overseeing contracts, regulatory submissions, vendor management, and financial planning. Additionally, they will maintain and strengthen relationships with the commercial partner, providing both strategic oversight and operational management of the project.

Reporting to Professor Stefan Siebert, the postholder will lead on project planning, risk assessment, and coordination of multidisciplinary teams. They will also support broader University partnership activities as required. Team members will include: amongst others, Clinical research fellows, Study nurses, Laboratory technicians, Bioinformaticians, Project Managers and Post-doctoral researchers.

This role requires a proactive, organised, and adaptable individual with strong project management, communication, and leadership skills. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in managing large-scale studies particularly those involving multiple stakeholders, budgets exceeding £1-2M, and regulatory challenges.

The position is full-time (35 hours per week) and initially funded for 6 months, with a likely extension, focusing on regulatory submissions and preparatory activities while contractual discussions are ongoing. Subject to successful completion for the contract, funding will be extended for a further two years, covering all aspects of study set up including site initiation, recruitment, vendor selection, and execution of the sample analysis plan.
