Do you have a burning interest in cancer care research and want to be part of developing future treatments? As a Research Nurse at the Clinical Trials Unit at Ryhov County Hospital in Jönköping, you will become an important part of an engaged team driving clinical studies for better cancer care.

The Role of Research Nurse

As a Research Nurse, you are responsible for the initiation, planning, and implementation of clinical studies – both drug trials and academic projects. You collaborate with principal investigators, doctors, research staff, and other colleagues within the tumor group.

The role includes informing and enrolling patients in studies, planning and following up on patient participation, as well as handling study drugs, blood samples, and biomarkers. You are also responsible for documentation and data entry into CRF systems (various databases).

You participate in monitoring visits, investigator meetings, and start-up meetings, and contribute to contract writing and budget work. An important part of the assignment is to develop the unit's working methods and contribute to our regional and national research networks.

We offer a permanent full-time position with start date as agreed. Working hours are during daytime, Monday to Friday.
