About the Role
Are you an enthusiastic and motivated clinician with a desire to be part of a successful international research team? Are you ambitious with an interest in clinical research? Do you want to further your career by contributing to a world-leading systemic sclerosis research network and registry?
The successful candidate will join the Scleroderma (also known as Systemic sclerosis; SSc) research team, at the University of Leeds, hosted within the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine, under the leadership of Professor Francesco Del Galdo. The Fellow will support the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group (EUSTAR), a world-leading international systemic sclerosis research network and registry, as Medical Lead for the network projects.
You will provide medically qualified input into the clinical and scientific delivery of EUSTAR research activity. This will include supporting registry-based studies, observational cohort research, clinical interpretation of data, project development, data quality, analysis planning and preparation of reports, presentations, and publications. You will work closely with Professor Del Galdo, the EUSTAR leadership team, the EUSTAR Programme Manager (Thomas Osborne), and international collaborators, statisticians, and data managers in the EUSTAR team. You will ensure that EUSTAR research activity remains clinically relevant, scientifically robust and aligned with the needs of people living with systemic sclerosis.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Research projects will aim to better understand disease progression, clinical phenotypes, organ involvement, treatment patterns and outcomes in patients diagnosed with scleroderma, from very early disease to individuals with active established SSc. You will primarily focus on EUSTAR-related research activity and the delivery of outputs from registry and cohort data, with opportunities to contribute to collaborative international projects using the EUSTAR database. You will have the opportunity to maintain your clinical skills and training needs by participating to the Leeds-based systemic sclerosis clinical activity including the opportunity to participate to translational research.
