Research Associate

Job Purpose

The post-holder will be fully dedicated to translational biomarker projects in support of Cancer Research UK's (CRUK) Centre for Drug Development (CDD) clinical trial portfolio. This work will be undertaken in the Translational Pharmacology Lab (TPL) located within the Institute of Cancer Sciences (ICS). The post-holder will make a leading contribution to pharmacodynamic and patient stratification biomarker studies within CDD's clinical trials and will deliver high quality biomarker assays and data. The post-holder must possess specialist knowledge of biomarker technologies, biomarker assay development and validation and the routine analysis of patient samples. The post-holder will also contribute to the TPL's quality assurance infrastructure Specifically, the postholder will conduct, manage and publish research in translational biomarkers applied within cancer experimental medicine as well as assist in managing and directing this complex and challenging project.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Perform the following activities in conjunction with the Principal Investigator (PI): 1. Take a leading role in the planning and conduct of assigned research individually or jointly in accordance with the project deliverables and CDD/Institute of Cancer Sciences' research strategy. 2. Document research output including analysis and interpretation of all data, maintaining records and databases, drafting technical/progress reports and papers as appropriate. 3. Establish and maintain your research profile and reputation and that of CRUK, ICS and the University including establishing and sustaining a track record of independent and joint publications of international quality in high profile/quality refereed journals and conferences, enhancing the research impact in terms of economic/societal benefit, and gathering indicators of esteem. 4. Survey the research literature and environment, understand the research challenges associated with the project & subject area, & develop/implement a suitable research strategy. 5. Presentation of work at international and national conferences, at internal and external seminars, colloquia and workshops to develop and enhance our research profile. 6.
