Senior Research Fellow - Psychosocial and Medical Oncology

Do you have the skills and experience to manage a multi-centre research programme?

Are you enthusiastic about leading and supervising colleagues?

We are looking for an experienced researcher to lead the day-to-day delivery of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded eRAPID programme and support the management of the Section of Patient Centred Outcomes Research (PCOR). The eRAPID programme is focussed on the development and evaluation of a web-based symptom reporting intervention to support cancer patients during treatment. Based in Bexley Wing (St James’s University Hospital campus), you will primarily oversee the delivery and completion of the ongoing randomised controlled trial in systemic cancer treatment and contribute to the radiotherapy and surgical strands of the programme where needed. You will be working with the principal investigator (Professor Galina Velikova) and project manager to organise meetings, produce reports and maintain communications with NIHR and other external collaborators. They will also play a significant role in supporting wider research activities and leadership of staff within PCOR. Highly effective organisational, interpersonal and communication skills are essential.
