About us
The Dementia Research Centre is a hub for clinical research into various forms of dementia. As well as clinical studies and trials in Alzheimer’s disease and other common causes of dementia, we have particular expertise in young onset, inherited and unusual dementias. Our work focuses on identifying and understanding the disease processes that cause dementia, the factors that influence these disease processes, and how best to support people with dementia and their families.
ADAPT (Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and plasma phospho-tau217) is a multi-centre study that aims to establish the utility of a blood-based biomarker for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in patients in the UK.
About the role
We are seeking a Research Coordinator to organise the ADAPT study team and undertake associated data management, as well as assist in managing the Wolfson CSF biomarker study, an ongoing sample collection which feeds into ADAPT stages 1 and 2. You will be willing to take on similar roles in other appropriate studies at the DRC as discussed with your line management team.
You will manage scheduling and coordination of study teams from multiple departments, which includes running team meetings, generating all necessary paperwork to keep the team informed, coordinating and participating in sample transport, managing a consumables budget and participant expenses, and monitoring data completeness. You will be expected to gather and analyse information (for example, finance information or team capacity) from standard sources and look for trends or patterns in that information. When problems arise, you will use initiative and creativity to address those problems.
An honorary contract will be sought from UCLH NHS Foundation Trust, for which a DBS check will be required.
The role is available immediately and is funded by a grant from Alzheimer’s Research UK for one year in the first instance.
This role is eligible for hybrid working with a minimum of 20-80% on site.
If you need reasonable adjustments or a more accessible format to apply for this job online, or have any queries regarding the application process, please contact the Institute of Neurology HR Team (#####).
