Part-time Clinical Research Fellow - RESPOND

Applications for this vacancy closed on 15 March 2024 at 12:00PM
**Contract type: Fixed-term for 12 months**



**Hours: Part-time (40% FTE)**





**About the role**



We are looking for a part-time Clinical Research Fellow to work on the
National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) RESPOND Programme. This is a
5-year project to develop and trial methods for improving responses to
deteriorating postoperative patients. The post will be primarily based at the
John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.





The RESPOND programme is focused on emergency laparotomy and will measure
Failure to Rescue (mortality associated with postoperative complications) as
the primary outcome. The interventions proposed will be based on Human Factors
science and the programme will culminate in a 24 hospital randomised Stepped
Wedge trial.





The postholder will be working closely with Professor Peter McCulloch and his
team at the Patient Safety Academy and Quality, Reliability and Teamwork
Research Unit. Specifically, they will be working to develop and deliver the
interventions, supervise data collection, provide training and support for
involved clinical staff and analyse and publish findings.





Experience of involvement in clinical research, and in delivering complex
intervention programmes (eg Accelerated Recovery, GIRFT) would be useful.
Publication will be an important part of the role, and candidates should have
experience of successfully writing scientific articles. The postholder will
receive on the job training in Human Factors, Quality Improvement techniques
and theory, and there will be opportunities for independent research, support
for funding applications for postgraduate degrees and supervision for
candidates who wish to pursue these.





**About you**



The postholder will have clinical experience in surgery to at least CT2 level,
will have passed the MRCS, will hold GMC registration with a licence to
practice, and will have some background in research or evidence of research
training. You will have some experience of either Human Factors or Quality
Improvement work in healthcare. You will have proven ability to communicate at
an academic level, the ability to conduct projects semi-autonomously, and the
ability to work well as part of a team.





This 40% FTE post is available from 1st April 2024 and is fixed term for 12
months in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal for up to 1
further year.
