Oncology Research Fellow

Oxford Population Health (Nuffield Department of Population Health) contains world-renowned population health research groups and provides an excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching. The Clinical Trial Service Unit (CTSU) is a major international research institute within NDPH, and is one of the world's leading centres for research into chronic diseases, especially heart disease, kidney disease and cancer.
We are seeking a Clinical Research Fellow to work in a Cancer Research UK funded research programme that aims to quantify the benefits and risks of cancer treatments. This post would suit either a medical or clinical oncologist.
The main role will be to quantify the risks from one or more systematic therapies using large-scale data in randomised trials. The post-holder will use their oncology expertise to identify relevant trials and extract data. These data will be analysed in partnership with statisticians within the team to produce dose-response relationships. The risks from systematic therapy can then be compared with the benefits, to inform clinical decisions for patients today.
The post-holder may also provide oncology input to some of the other ongoing studies and meta-analyses being conducted within the group.

This post must be held in conjunction with an honorary (non-stipendiary) contract with a relevant NHS Trust. To be considered for this role you will be medically qualified, GMC registered with a valid licence to practice and a Member or Fellow, of a relevant Royal College (or equivalent). You will also have a good grounding in oncology: for clinical oncologists, FRCR part 1 or equivalent; for medical oncologists, a national medical oncology training number or equivalent. You will have strong organisational and communication skills and an ability to work with attention to detail.
The post is full time (although part time will be considered) and fixed term for 2 years in the first instance. Subject to passing selection criteria, there may be an opportunity for candidates to study for a DPhil.
