Centre for Statistics in Medicine, Oxford
Senior Project Manager
Salary £26,948 - £35,527
12 months fixed term
The Centre for Statistics in Medicine is seeking a Senior Project Manager
for a newly funded 12 month development project relating to enhancing the
quality of reporting of medical research: “Maximising the impact of
reporting guidelines on the quality of research-based knowledge”. This is
an important project, commissioned by the National Knowledge Service (a
part of ‘Connecting for Health’), the success of which will depend on
securing the collaboration and support of an international community of
scientists and journal editors.
The project aims to establish an international network of representatives
of groups developing reporting guidelines for different types of research
(e.g. CONSORT). The postholder will take a leading role in organising two
international workshops, co-ordinate the development of reports from expert
working groups, and prepare final versions for publication and dissemination.
The postholder will need to have understanding and experience of issues
relating to research quality, well-developed skills in project and research
management and networking, and experience of drafting technical reports or
scientific papers for publication. Experience of medical research would be
desirable. Good organisational and communication skills, and the ability to
secure co-operation of senior scientists through persuasion and
negotiation, are essential. The post could be suitable for someone wishing
to spend a year in Oxford on secondment.
The postholder will be based at the Centre for Statistics in Medicine at
Wolfson College in North Oxford. Ideal applicants will have a quantitative
or health science postgraduate degree, practical experience of completing
research projects, experience of critical appraisal and database
management, familiarity with trial design and systematic reviews, and
excellent communication and organisational skills.
The appointment will be for 12 months.
