The posting

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Access Reviewer with a strong scientific research background and specific expertise in clinical trials to join the Access team at Our Future Health.

You will play an important role in the scientific and technical review of research proposals seeking access to Our Future Health’s data, samples and participants. You will use your scientific expertise and knowledge of clinical trials to make independent and pragmatic judgements, helping us maintain a robust, transparent and efficient research access process as our programme continues to grow.

Despite big improvements in healthcare in our lifetimes, today millions of people in the UK still live in poor health as they get older. Diseases like cancer, dementia, diabetes, and heart disease affect the lives of many people in our communities. Our goal is to create a world-leading resource for health research, to improve our understanding and spot the patterns of how and why common diseases start, so treatments can begin sooner and be more effective.

Our Future Health will be the UK’s largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent, and treat diseases. We are a charity, supported by the UK Government, in partnership with charities and industry. We work closely with the NHS and with public authorities across all nations and regions of the UK.

What you’ll be doing:

In this role, you will be responsible for the internal scientific and technical review of research proposals and will support the oversight and management of our research access process. You will work closely with researchers, the Access Board and colleagues across Our Future Health to ensure proposals are reviewed efficiently and to a high scientific and governance standard.

Your key responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

  • Conduct scientific and technical reviews of research proposals, including proposals involving data, samples and participant re-contact.
  • Apply your clinical trials expertise when reviewing relevant research proposals, helping to assess their scientific and technical suitability and identify potential issues.
  • Make independent and pragmatic judgements on research proposals, amendments and access-related queries, escalating these to relevant colleagues where appropriate.
  • Support the oversight and management of the research access process, helping to ensure efficient and timely review of proposals submitted by researchers.
  • Maintain oversight of approved studies throughout their lifecycle, including reviewing amendments, annual study reports and publications.
  • Support the Access Governance Manager and wider Access team in developing guidance and training and responding to queries from researchers.
  • Help identify potentially overlapping or duplicate studies and facilitate scientifically driven collaborations between researchers where appropriate.
  • Contribute to the development of Our Future Health policies, procedures and ways of working.
  • Work collaboratively with teams across Our Future Health, including Access, Science, Technology and Product, to support the aims of the programme.

Requirements

We recognise that candidates may have developed relevant experience through different career paths and welcome applications from those who can demonstrate many, though not necessarily all, of the skills and experience listed below:

  • A postgraduate degree in life sciences with experience in a postgraduate research environment, a medical degree with experience in epidemiological or clinical research, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Demonstrable experience working with clinical trials and a strong understanding of clinical trial research and associated scientific considerations.
  • Experience undertaking scientific research and reviewing research proposals within comparable research programmes or other relevant organisations.
  • The ability to critically assess research proposals and make independent, pragmatic judgements on proposals, amendments and access-related queries.
  • Experience of governance processes within health research, for example within an academic, NHS, industry or charity setting.
  • Knowledge of relevant external authorities and regulatory agencies within health research.
  • Awareness of ethical and legal issues relating to genetics and genomics, the handling and storage of human tissue, and access to personal and health data.
  • The ability to work effectively with colleagues and researchers from a range of disciplines and professional backgrounds.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and work to appropriate review timelines.
  • A practical and collaborative approach to navigating complex or uncertain scientific and research governance issues.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
