SalaryAn exciting opportunity has arisen for a Global Health Project Manager in the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit (CEU), Department of Public Health and Primary Care.
The Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit (CEU), directed by Professor John Danesh, is an internationally recognised interdisciplinary group for the study of the causes and prevention of cardiovascular disease. It is part of the Department of Public Health and Primary Care (DPHPC), one of Europe's leading academic departments of population health sciences.
CEU is guided by strong values, including commitments to scientific excellence, serving the public good, and creating a positive, nurturing and collaborative environment for research and capacity development.
This position offers an excellent opportunity for a dynamic individual to project manage and coordinate our portfolio of Global Health studies, which aim to investigate risk factors for non-communicable diseases (e.g. cardiovascular and metabolic diseases) in South Asia. Our largest Global Health study is BELIEVE, which is a 74,000 participant cohort in Bangladesh to support training and applied health research in cardiovascular disease control.

The post-holder should ideally have a project management or coordinator background in research projects, an interest in Global Health research and experience in coordinating, implementing and evaluating large scale projects.
