The TOUR (Transforming cancer OUtcomes through Research) team brings together clinicians, epidemiologists, data scientists, and research professionals dedicated to improving cancer outcomes through high‑quality translational research. A central pillar of TOUR is its Real‑World Evidence (RWE) team, led by Professor Mieke Van Hemelrijck and Dr Anne Rigg, which focuses on generating clinically relevant insights from large‑scale health data to support better decision‑making in oncology.

The RWE team works across a diverse portfolio of projects that leverage electronic health records, registry data, biobanks, and linked routine datasets to understand patterns of care, evaluate patient outcomes, and identify opportunities to improve services for people living with and beyond cancer. This work is inherently collaborative, involving close partnerships with clinicians, NHS Trusts, national and international research groups, and multidisciplinary teams across King’s.

As part of TOUR, the RWE team contributes to cutting‑edge research on cancer epidemiology, health outcomes, survivorship, and treatment optimisation. The successful candidate will join this dynamic group and play a key role in supporting data‑enabled research projects that directly inform and enhance cancer care. 

 

We are seeking an organised, proactive, and detail‑oriented Research Administrator to support the activities of the Real‑World Evidence (RWE) team within the TOUR (Transforming cancer OUtcomes through Research) programme. This is a key role in ensuring the smooth and efficient delivery of a wide portfolio of cancer outcomes research projects that use routinely collected clinical data to generate insights that improve patient care.

 

Working closely with academic researchers, clinicians, data managers, and external collaborators, the post holder will provide essential administrative and operational support across the research lifecycle. This will include coordinating project documentation, supporting governance and ethics submissions, assisting with the maintenance of study records, and managing day‑to‑day communications with internal and external partners.

 

The role will also involve supporting patient‑facing activities, including helping to coordinate and document patient consent processes, liaising with clinical teams, sample collection and ensuring all activities are carried out in line with regulatory and data governance requirements. The post holder will additionally contribute to Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) activities, helping to organise meetings, maintain engagement materials, and ensure the perspectives of people affected by cancer inform TOUR’s research.

 

A further key aspect of the position will be contributing to study operations through accurate data entry, data checking, and documentation management, working closely with the RWE data team to ensure high‑quality and audit‑ready records.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong organisational skills, an interest in health research, and a commitment to improving outcomes for people with cancer. The successful candidate will join a supportive and collaborative environment where they can develop valuable experience in real‑world evidence research and operational research support.

 

This is a full time post (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract of 12 months.
