ABOUT THE ROLE

The post is funded by partly by a governmental grant and partly by external donations to ‘The Centre for Psychedelic Research’ to perform two different studies. The post holder will be working on a Clinical Trial of an Investigational Medicinal Product (CTIMP) which will be one of the largest of its kind assessing the use of psilocybin for opioid use-disorder (OUD). Measures will be taken to assess safety, efficacy and tolerability of the study drug as well as assessing psychometric and brain effects of psilocybin in OUD. We will be investigating the safety, efficacy, tolerability, psychometric and brain effects of psilocybin in this population in a randomised controlled trial. Furthermore, the post holder will aid in coordinating and conducting a clinical study investigating psilocybin for Gambling Disorder.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

Your main responsibilities will be to conduct essential day-to-day running of the studies, to support the rest of the trial teams in participant recruitment, arrangement and conduct of study visits, help with data collection and handling, assist with preparation and maintenance of trial-related documentation and associated administrative duties, and to undertake data management and data analysis activities as required. This is a key post that will help ensure that the study is delivered on-time according to projected milestones, and is conducted to the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards.
