Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time

The role

Bristol Vaccine Centre (BVC) is a team of doctors, nurses, academic, administrative and laboratory staff working together to develop new, better ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases. We conduct commercial and non-commercial clinical trials to evaluate novel drugs and vaccines, from small early-phase safety studies to large efficacy trials. We also want to find out more about the naturally occurring carriage of bacteria and/or viruses in healthy individuals, and how this changes in illness. This work can take the shape of large epidemiological studies or smaller lab-based research projects that use human tissue samples obtained via donations to the Bristol (Immunity & Infection) Biobank, which is coordinated by BVC staff.

We are seeking applications from motivated, reliable, and hard-working individuals for the role of Assistant Database Manager to join our friendly team.

  • Coordinate the design and setup of databases for new studies
  • Maintain existing databases, actioning updates and edits, as needed
  • Facilitate uploads, downloads, transfers, cleaning and secure long-term storage of data
  • Support a wide range of different research projects with their data management needs
  • Ensure data are handled in line with regulations to preserve patient confidentiality
  • Provide guidance, advice and training to other team members
  • Make a positive contribution to the team by assisting colleagues and providing cover for other team members, as needed

You should apply if

  • Experience in data management (ideally in clinical research) likely in a University or NHS setting
  • Experience of using, creating, and editing databases (ideally REDCap)
  • A methodical approach and excellent attention to detail
  • Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary team
  • Able to explain IT concepts to non-experts in simple terms
