An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Norwich Clinical Trials Unit, ideally suited to fast learners with a technical aptitude who wish to start their career in clinical data management within a CTU.
Norwich CTU staff work with investigators and research teams to design, conduct, analyse and report high quality clinical trials and other well-designed studies that fit with the research strategies of NRP partners including NNUH and UEA.
You would be based within the Data Management (DM) team and, under the supervision of the Head of Data Management, support database programmers in the delivery of externally funded research studies.

Whilst most CTU staff are currently working in a hybrid arrangement, regular on-site attendance is expected.

UEA offers a variety of flexible working options and although this role is advertised on a full-time basis, we encourage applications from individuals who would prefer a flexible working pattern including annualised hours, compressed working hours, part time, job share, term-time only and/or hybrid working. Details of preferred hours should be stated in the personal statement and will be discussed further at interview.
