Department of Paediatrics, Oxford Vaccine Group, Churchill Hospital, Oxford About the role The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG), part of the Department of Paediatrics at the University of Oxford, is seeking a Clinical Trial Monitor and Quality Assurance Manager to support the delivery of high-quality clinical trials. In this role, you will be responsible for monitoring OVG’s clinical trials to ensure they are conducted in compliance with study protocols, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and applicable regulatory requirements. Monitoring will include both on-site and remote visits. As a member of the Quality Assurance (QA) team, you will also contribute to the wider QA function to maintain and continuously improve the quality systems that underpin OVG’s research portfolio. The role requires on-site working and the ability and willingness to regularly travel to trial sites across the UK, often on a weekly basis, with some overnight stays. Some remote working may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis. OVG has a UKCRC-registered Clinical Trials Unit and is a recognised centre of excellence in vaccine research for both adult and paediatric populations. Based at the Churchill Hospital, our mission is to reduce the global burden of death and disability from infectious diseases. Working closely with an embedded laboratory team and international collaborators, we conduct studies spanning the full vaccine development pathway—from early preclinical research to late-stage post-licensure trials. You will be working in a growing department within the Medical Sciences Division. The Department of Paediatrics is a world leader in child health research and hosts internationally renowned research programmes in drug development, gastroenterology, haematology, HIV, immunology, neuroimaging, neuromuscular diseases and vaccinology. The position is offered full-time on a fixed-term contract initially for two years with the possibility to extend provided further external funding is available.
