Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health, Level 2,3&4 Women’s Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, OX3 9DU. You are invited to join the Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health as a part-time Research Technician, where you will play a key role in supporting recruitment and sample management for NIHR portfolio studies.
