Do you have a PhD in a life science? Are you interested in a career in drug
development?
HMR, based in NW London, is one of Europe’s largest Contract Research
Organisations specialising in early phase clinical trials. We seek a high-calibre
life science PhD to join our clinical project management team. Excellent
communication, organisational skills and attention to detail are essential for this
dynamic and fast-paced role. Understanding of early drug development, and
basic statistics, would be an advantage; however, enthusiasm and commitment
are more important than experience. You’ll receive extensive on-the-job training
in clinical project management, medical writing and the regulations governing
clinical trials.
As a Clinical Project Manager, you’ll be responsible for planning and
management of clinical pharmacology trials at HMR, including advising on trial
design and methodology. You’ll be a key point of contact with pharmaceutical
companies, other investigator sites and subcontractors. You’ll also prepare key
trial documents, such as protocols, patient information leaÀets, and regulatory
applications.
There’ll be plenty of opportunity to develop new skills and to pursue a career
in our innovative and dynamic company. You’ll work alongside experts in
regulatory affairs, data management, statistics, clinical pharmacology, and
pharmacokinetics.
