What the job involves Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and it's harming too many lives. At Prostate Cancer UK, one of our top priorities is funding research that leads to real change. It's vital we do our best to make sure this research makes a meaningful difference to men's lives, and that's where you come in. We're looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Senior Research Officer to help us deliver our funding schemes and patient and public involvement work. This role sits in the Research Funding Team and will provide us with support across our grant funding schemes, ensuring we are following best practise in research funding. You'll take responsibility for a small portfolio of active research grants, providing support and guidance to the researchers leading them. You'll be a main point of contact for grant applicants, supporting them as they apply to us and will be responsible for running peer review. Using your understanding of research funding and administration, you'll help make sure our funding schemes run smoothly and to time. You'll work with colleagues to support patient and public involvement in research both in our review process and through our Patient Representative Network who help researchers make sure their work is focussed on the needs of men with prostate cancer. What we want from you We're looking for a Senior Research Officer who is passionate about research and has a desire to develop knowledge of prostate cancer.

We encourage applications from candidates who may not completely fit the job description as we are fully committed to help colleagues develop and progress in their role. Why work with us? Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men - prostate cancer. It's a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year. Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men's health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition - to stop prostate cancer damaging lives.

Work with us and you'll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
