About us
The UCL Institute of Clinical Trials and Methodology was established on 1st August 2013 and is formally comprised of two research departments: The MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL (MRC CTU) and the Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit at UCL (CCTU). The Institute is a centre of excellence for the conduct of all phases of clinical trials, meta-analysis, and epidemiological studies. Key areas of focus are continuing to deliver innovations in trial methodology to improve outcomes for patients and training and developing the next generation of trialists. The Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit is a specialist unit set up within the Institute of Clinical Trials and Methodology with a specific remit to design, conduct, analyse and publish clinical trials and other well-designed studies. The CCTU provides clinical, statistical, and trial operations leadership and facilitates the delivery of high-quality, regulatory compliant clinical trials of both investigational medicinal products (IMPs) (in compliance with the UK regulations governing the conduct of clinical trials of IMP) and other non-IMP trials and studies. The CCTU is a registered CTU with the capability to centrally coordinate multi-centre clinical trials (i.e. having overall responsibility for the design, development, recruitment, data management and analysis of trials) with robust systems to ensure conduct and delivery of clinical trials to the highest quality standards.
About the role
We currently have a vacancy to work within the Unit. The Clinical Project Manager post works closely with disease-specific group staff to identify the management needs of new studies within the assigned portfolio and arrange for deployment of staff to meet those needs.

At the Unit level, the post holder will work with the senior team within Trial Operations to develop, implement, and monitor Unit-wide processes across our research. The Clinical Project Managers at the Unit interact closely with the Trial Managers, Data Managers, Statisticians, Data Scientists and Programmers as part of the Trial team. The post holder will report to the Head of Clinical Trial Operations. The post is funded for 12 months in the first instance. Interviews will be held on 29 January 2025. A job description and person specification is available at the bottom of the page. If you have any queries regarding the vacancy please contact Felicia Ikeji (f.ikeji@ucl.ac.uk).
