Job summary
Based at John
Radcliffe Hospital, you will contribute to clinical research in airways
diseases within the Respiratory Medicine Unit, working with teams within Oxford
Centre for Respiratory Medicine.
The post will support
studies led by Professor Petousi &Professor Pavord: the Oxford
airways study on phenotyping of airways diseases and a randomised controlled
trial of dupilumab in patients with high-risk type-2 high asthma (HOTHOT). You
will recruit participants, conduct research visits as a medically-qualified
investigator, support trial delivery and data collection, undertake laboratory
work, analyse data, and contribute to reports and publications. You will also
run research clinics for patients with asthma and COPD and work with
multidisciplinary collaborators.
It is expected that you are eligible to undertake clinical
practice in the UK (having General Medical Council registration or proven
eligibility for registration). Successful applicants will be required to hold
an honorary clinical contract and therefore must ensure that they can fulfil all
the criteria required by the GMC, their LETB and the National Health Service
Trust.
Main duties of the job
- Be responsible for the recruitment of eligible participants for the HOTHOT randomised-controlled clinical trial from Oxford University Hospitals, and through collaboration with primary care.
- Conduct research visits for the HOTHOT study and Oxford airways study as a medically-qualified Investigator and support the research nurses with the scheduled activities, queries and completion of CRFs.
- Undertake laboratory experiments, according to experimental protocols relevant to the research project.
- Collect and analyse data as required for the project.
- Write progress reports for the HOTHOT study, as required and participate in relevant meetings.
- Accept technical training in necessary methods, where appropriate, as well as mandatory training as required
- Run research clinics for patients with asthma and COPD and communication with collaborators locally and nationally.
- Write papers and contribute to publications and participate in seminars and conferences
- Work effectively within the team and with collaborators, which may include supporting or supervising junior members of the team on a day to day basis
- Regular meetings with project supervisors regarding progress of project & attend relevant group meetings and knowledge of relevant literature
- Participate in and support the public engagement and widening access activities of the Department and the University. This is anticipated to be not more than 2 days per year.
About us
The post will
be located in the Respiratory Medicine Unit (RMU), which is led by Professor
Ian Pavord. The RMU is situated in the John Radcliffe Hospital, where there is a dedicated clinical research area for airways diseases
(Level 2) and a wet laboratory (including a sputum lab) at Level 7. The unit receives support from the NIHR
Biomedical Research Centre, with a dedicated Respiratory Theme. It comprises 3
Principal Investigators (Professors Ian Pavord, Tim Hinks and Nayia Petousi). The groups research interests are in
translational research in asthma and COPD, and aims to enahnce understanding of
airway pathobiology, improve diagnosis, phenotyping and patient stratification
and ultimately the targeting of therapies to the right patients at the right
time. It builds on excellent clinical programmes in airways diseases, clinical
randomized trials of therapeutic agents,
as well as cutting-edge basic science in respiratory immunology and
respiratory physiology.
We were the first to identify
eosinophilic, type-2 high airway inflammation as a key treatable trait in
patients with asthma and COPD. We recognised that this pattern of airway
inflammation is associated with an increased risk of exacerbations of airway
disease and corticosteroid responsiveness.
