The Clinical Trial Service Unit (CTSU) is a major international research institute within Oxford Population Health, and is one of the world's leading centres for research into chronic diseases, especially diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and cancer.

We are seeking a Clinical Research Fellow to work on ASCEND PLUS, a streamlined randomised placebo-controlled trial designed to test whether prolonged treatment with oral semaglutide reduces cardiovascular events and other complications of diabetes in people with type 2 diabetes who have not previously suffered a myocardial infarction or stroke.

Based at the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit, the successful applicant will be part of a strong and established research team that aims to carry out research, which is both of the highest methodological quality and has the greatest possible influence, on treatments in diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

To be considered for this role you will be medically qualified and GMC registered with a valid licence to practice. You will also need a good grounding in clinical medicine and/or surgery with extensive experience in telemedicine, as well as excellent communication and organisational skills.

The post is full time (although part time will be considered) and fixed term for up to 12 months. The closing date for applications is noon on 18 May 2026. Interviews for this role will be held on 26 May 2026. Ideally, the successful candidate would be able to commence in post on 28 May 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter, on either a full-time or part-time basis, subject to completed pre-employment checks.

You will be required to upload a CV and Supporting Statement as part of your online application. The Supporting Statement should include a cover letter and should also clearly describe how you meet each of the selection criteria listed in the job description.
