You will be responsible for following up research participants to ensure high response rates and high-quality data is obtained for all studies, communicating with recruitment sites, plus a wide variety of other administrative tasks to support the team.

We have a team-orientated approach to the delivery of research projects, and you will be encouraged to contribute, as required, to other research studies being run by our group, depending on time available, and your interest, skills and experience.
