The York Trials Unit (YTU) is one of the UK’s leading centres for the design and analysis of randomised controlled trials. Due to the continued success of the Unit, we are now seeking to appoint 2 new Trial Co-ordinators. The posts offer the opportunity to be part of a large and successful multi-disciplinary Department, renowned for its methodological expertise and commitment to policy relevant research.
You will setup and coordinate trials working across several funded projects, prepare and submit documentation to obtain ethical approval and to coordinate final report writing and trial publications.
You will be encouraged to undertake dissemination of your research through publications, seminars and conference presentations and contribute to the identification of possible new areas of research.
It may become a requirement for anyone successfully appointed to this role to undertake an enhanced DBS check, in order to undertake specific project work. Appointees will be asked to declare any spent convictions at the point at which a project requires an enhanced DBS check. The enhanced DBS check will then be carried out before they undertake work relating to that specific project.
These are fixed term posts for 2 years.
Interview date: 26 September 2022
Informal enquiries are welcome please contact Professor David Torgerson (david.torgerson@york.ac.uk) or Professor Catherine Hewitt (catherine.hewitt@york.ac.uk).
