Project Support Officer

Are you looking to begin a career in project administration? We have an opportunity for you!

Funded by the Wellcome Trust, the MedTechONE project aims to develop technologies in musculoskeletal health and surgery, addressing robotics, sensing and imaging needs currently unmet in the medical sector. Working collaboratively with clinical scientists and engineers, the postholder will be supporting the day-to-day running and development of this high impact activity.

The project will be primarily supporting the training, events and networking aspects of this large, multidisciplinary research grant, embedding these activities within the clinical environment. This will provide essential translational project support to the MedTechONE partnership, enabling the outputs of robotics research to advance more rapidly into clinical use and/or commercial development, including through the formation of new spin-out companies.

The Hamlyn Centre, where the post is based, is co-hosted by the Department of Surgery & Cancer and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, which focuses on technological innovation with a strong emphasis on clinical translation, resulting in direct patient benefits with global impacts. The Centre is one of the several research centres that make up the Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI). Focusing on improving global health and healthcare through evidence-based innovation, IGHI is one of Imperial’s six global challenge institutes.

The College believes that the use of animals in research is vital to improve human and animal health and welfare. Animals may only be used in research programmes which are ultimately aimed towards finding new treatments and making scientific and medical advances, and where there are no satisfactory or reasonably practical alternatives to their use. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and that all staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level. http://www.imperial.ac.uk/research-and-innovation/about-imperial-research/research-integrity/animal-research/
