The Institute of Cancer Research is looking for a Clinical Research Associate to join The Drug Development Unit (DDU) in our Investigator-Initiated Trials team based in Sutton, Greater London.
The Unit also has a portfolio of investigator-initiated phase 1 trials of novel targeted agents and combinations of these, including those made available via Cancer Research-UK’s (CRUK) Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres (ECMC) Combinations Alliance. These studies are centrally managed by the Investigator Initiated Trials team - a dedicated team within the DDU that performs those functions associated with sponsoring early phase trials including project management, monitoring, pharmacovigilance, database development and central data review. The successful applicant will be responsible for monitoring allocated Phase I clinical trials to ensure compliance with GCP and the UK Clinical Trials legislation.
Key Requirements
The successful applicant should be a graduate in a life science or health related subject and understand Good Clinical Practice and the drug development process, particularly Phase I clinical trials. Excellent interpersonal skills are required, as is the ability to work to high standards across a variety of tasks with constant regard to scientific and regulatory requirements. Prior experience is not essential but experience of working in a clinical trial setting is desirable.
