The Translational Research Office (TRO) are looking to recruit a Translational Partnerships Manager in Global Health at Oxford, UK. The TRO sits within the Medical Sciences Division and supports early-stage translational programmes with high potential for clinical, commercial and/or global impact in low-middle income countries. The TRO assists Oxford employed academics and clinicians in advancing their research discoveries, through appropriate translational funding steps, on a long-term trajectory towards development into new therapeutics, devices and clinical techniques.
The post-holder in this new role within the TRO will play a critical role in understanding and mapping translational global health efforts of Oxford academics based in Oxford and across the overseas research units. The post-holder will strategically align researchers and forge new collaborations and support their translational research programmes towards creating clinical impact. Building relationships will be key as well as establishing an excellent communication strategy to raise awareness of funding, resources, expertise, infrastructure and translational support available to the network. The post-holder is also expected to provide support in strategic capacity building through training and development. This role requires a combination of strategic vision, collaborative skills, and practical experience to foster effective partnerships that can drive meaningful progress and maximise potential to create impact in global health.
