Overview
The Cancer Clinical Trials Unit at UCLH is looking to recruit a Data Manager to support a portfolio of Phase I-III clinical trials in the Lung and Breast trials team. You may be required to cover other disease areas on a short-term or longer-term basis. The post-holder will deliver and verify trial-specific information to sponsors, support the team with the set-up of new clinical trials, and assist as needed with the processing of biological samples, amongst other tasks. You will be part of a supportive and dynamic team, working closely with clinical research staff.
