Role Summary


We are seeking a scientifically curious and highly motivated Research Officer to join our team. This is an exceptional opportunity for a recent PhD graduate to pivot away from bench-based science into a dynamic role in research strategy and management in the rare disease field. In this role you will gain hands-on experience accelerating treatment developments and ensuring their access for patients. You will leverage your scientific training within a small multi-disciplinary team to evaluate research landscapes, explore new medical technologies, synthesise complex literature, work with other stakeholders and help to manage our global research grant portfolio, with a goal to have real world impact. You will also serve as a vital liaison between the Foundation and our international network of clinical, academic and commercial collaborators. Come join us and make a tangible difference in the rare disease field.


Key Responsibilities


1. Scientific Analyses and Insights

  • Conduct deep research to map emerging therapeutic modalities, target mechanisms, and research gaps in citrin deficiency.
  • Distil highly technical data into strategic briefs for stakeholders and decision makers.
  • Work within a multi-disciplinary team to produce clear accurate scientific communications for internal and external audiences.


2. Scientific Grant Portfolio Management

  • Contribute to management of Foundation-funded research projects, including peer review, project management, budgets, and milestones delivery, in alignment with our research strategy.
  • Work closely with academic investigators, clinical collaborators and industry partners to maintain research oversight.


3. Strategic and Operational Support

  • Support the team in overcoming logistical or regulatory bottlenecks in translational research projects.
  • Execute across a wide spectrum of foundation activities, including supporting the scientific supervisory board, patient engagement, international seminars and conferences.


About You


Essential Skills and Experience

  • PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Medicine or a related field.
  • The ability to assimilate and critically evaluate complex scientific literature outside of your immediate area of expertise.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, engaging with and adapting content appropriately for both leading experts and lay stakeholders.
  • Strong organisational skills to manage multiple complex projects and competing priorities with high level of attention to detail.
  • An adaptable, entrepreneurial and “can-do” mindset, with the ability to take initiative, work proactively, and operate collaboratively and independently in a lean multi-disciplinary team.
  • Patient-centred, empathetic, and discreet, with a deep commitment to the mission of improving outcomes in the rare disease space.

Desirable

  • Experience with the mechanics or administration of research funding.
  • Experience inherited metabolic disorders or rare disease translation.
  • Established track record of peer-reviewed publications or conference presentations.
  • Experience working within a multi-stakeholder research charity.


We will be reviewing applications as they are received.
