Research Assistant (Data Manager)

The Centre for Trials Research at Cardiff University is a large, multinational community of researchers, professional services staff and students from a diverse range of backgrounds. 

We tackle the big diseases and health concerns of our time by forming partnerships with researchers and building lasting relationships with the public. Find out more about the Centre and working with us here .

You will support the Centre by working on multiple trials as a Data Manager. You will work with the wider trial team to set up these trials taking a lead on the Data Management tasks such as Case Report Form design, specifying the requirements of the trial database and rigorously testing it to ensure it meets these specifications and that it is also regulatory compliant. During the trial recruitment and follow up period you will monitor and query the data to ensure a high level of data completeness and ensure that the datasets are free from queries. You will ensure that all data is collected, processed and stored in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and the General Data Protection Regulation. You will become an active member of the Data Management team and look to develop your own research ideas in a supportive environment.
With a culture of continuous professional and career development the Centre has an excellent track record of helping people develop in their areas of interest, with many progressing within the Centre itself, the wider University or further afield.
