Head of Clinical Research
Chordoma Foundation - 24 October 2022
Fifteen years of investment by the Chordoma Foundation in basic, translational and early clinical research has yielded a growing pipeline of promising systemic therapy concepts, spanning new drug development, repositioning and repurposing. As these concepts advance and the therapeutic pipeline continues to grow, there is an increasing need for the Foundation to play a larger and more active role in driving clinical research. Our new Head of Clinical Research will lead that critical aspect of our research mission.
The primary aims of this role are to:
- Accelerate clinical evaluation of new therapeutic concepts
- Deepen understanding of the natural history of the disease
- Generate evidence needed to enable better, more personalized care
In this position, you will be responsible for shaping our clinical research strategy, overseeing our clinical research-enabling programs, managing relationships with various stakeholders, and proactively initiating new projects and partnerships. You will advance research both by supporting the work of academic investigators and companies, and – akin to a virtual biotech – by directing your own research, leveraging the Foundation’s own data and broad patient network. Your work will take place within a nimble and supportive work environment and within a collaborative, constructive and mission-oriented research community focused on improving the lives of patients.
