About us

------------


The Cancer Research UK & UCL Cancer Trials Centre (CTC) is a UKCRC registered and NCRI Clinical Trials Unit group member: https://www.ctc.ucl.ac.uk/. It is a major research department within the UCL Cancer Institute (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/cancer/), which consists of over 400 scientists working together to translate research discoveries into developing safer and more effective therapies for cancer patients. The CTC Director is Professor Allan Hackshaw.



The CTC is responsible for the development, design and conduct of clinical trials to evaluate new approaches to the treatment or early detection of cancer. It is one of the largest cancer trials centres in the UK, conducting predominantly multicentre phase II and III trials using survival, tumour response or quality of life as endpoints; as well as large-scale cancer screening studies, and observational studies. There is an expanding portfolio of phase I, II and feasibility studies, some with biological endpoints, and most trials now include a translational research component. The CTC is conducting more than 110 national and international trials (ongoing or in set-up) with more than 115 members of staff, involving the recruitment of several thousand patients.



Currently the CTC portfolio is divided into 4 trial groups: (i) Haematological and Brain cancers; (ii) Upper and Lower Gastrointestinal tract, Head & Neck, Prostate cancers and Sarcoma, (iii) Gynaecological and Lung cancers; and (iv) Advanced Therapies. These groups reflect the type of work currently undertaken within the CTC. However, the CTC works flexibly and adapts to changing needs of the local and national research environment, and so these groups and divisions may evolve over time.

About the role

------------------


The post holder will be part of a centralised data management team working on phase I, II and III trials. They will have general data and administrative duties within the team and specific responsibilities for one or more trials, and will also work on the closure and archiving of trials.



The CTC offers hybrid working with staff being able to work flexibly between our office and home, along with core hours and flexible start/finish times - a minimum of 60% FTE office attendance is expected for all staff (3 days per week for full time staff).

This post is a 12-month secondment for existing UCL employees only.

Anyone wishing to apply for a secondment should discuss the possible secondment with their existing line manager before applying.



Employees who are applying for a secondment as a redeployee, must indicate their redeployment status on their application form and will be given priority over other internal candidates after interview stage, if they meet the essential criteria (or could do so with reasonable training).

About you

-------------


The postholder should have knowledge of the different phases of clinical trials, and the design and aims of each. Experience in trial closure and knowledge of archiving requirements and cancer would be advantageous.
