Job description
The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.
The Department of Experimental Psychology hosts a number of current world-leading research groups and continues to be among the top-ranked Psychology departments worldwide. It includes over 30 research groups with upwards of 400 undergraduates, graduate students and researchers.
Currently located in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, we will be moving to the new, purpose-built Life and Mind Building a multidisciplinary research and teaching facility due to open in 2024.
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Oxford Cognitive Approaches to Psychosis (O-CAP) team, a large clinical research group working to understand why mental health problems happen and how they can be best treated psychologically. The O-CAP team, led by Prof Daniel Freeman, includes clinical psychologists, project coordinators, virtual reality computer scientists, research assistants, DPhil students, and an administrator.
There are numerous ongoing research projects, including clinical trials, and a number of new multi-centre projects will start throughout 2023 and into 2024. We are seeking an individual to take a central role in the management and success of these projects and play an essential part in facilitating the communication within and cohesion of the team.
What we offer
We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies and opportunities for flexible working arrangements to support team members from varied backgrounds.
- An excellent contributory pension scheme
- 38 days annual leave
- A comprehensive range of childcare services
- Family leave schemes
- Cycle loan scheme and Green commute initiatives
- Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
- Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs.
About you
The projects manager will have a vital role in coordinating numerous projects. This will include helping to set up and run multi-centre trials, bringing relevant stakeholders together in treatment design, supporting the day-to-day management of a large collaborating team, and contributing to the decision making, delivery, and financial management of the projects.
Providing operational management in the planning and execution of multiple projects, the post-holder will demonstrate innovation and leadership when faced with challenges, hold excellent communication and presentation skills and the ability to organise and motivate others. This will include a keenness to ensure people with lived experience of mental health problems are central to the conduct of research.
There is flexibility as to how this job can be configured. We welcome discussions with potential candidates.
