PDRA: Laboratory Co-ordinator
The Centre for Clinical Microbiology has an ongoing programme of research focused on investigating better treatments and methods of monitoring treatment of tuberculosis. An important aspect of this activity is the oversight of laboratories at Clinical Trial Sites. The successful applicant will join the research team responsible for delivering TB microbiology in clinical trials.
Working with the team, the Laboratory Co-ordinator (LC) will contribute to the oversight of TB laboratory assessment procedures, laboratory selection, site laboratory preparation and initiation. As the project develops and building on our established frameworks the LC will be responsible for specific sites: monitoring quality and standards, ensuring that ICH/GCP standards are maintained and that data produced is sufficient for submission to regulatory authorities. Delivery of these objectives will require frequent travel to sites in LMICs (approximately 25% of time) and liaison with site staff at all levels
