Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

We submit high quality grant applications which are often successful and we need assistance with writing the applications, preparing the trust and ethical committee approval applications via IRAS and then in overseeing and managing the delivery of the grants and the writing up of the studies. 
The initial planned timetable will be for the research fellow to be based in the Gloucestershire Retinal Research Group offices at Cheltenham General Hospital on Wednesdays and on Thursdays with occasional sessions spent at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital or in Cheltenham General.
There may be some service commitment within the two days working and so there would need to be some flexibility about the day worked. Any service commitment is likely to be infrequent and would be at Cheltenham General Hospital or Gloucestershire Royal Hospital between Tuesday and Friday. We would aim to give at least 4 weeks notice if a request was made to cover a clinic on a Tuesday or a Friday. The research fellow may occasionally be asked to present at a departmental audit meeting on a Friday pm.
