The National Pathology Imaging Co-operative (NPIC) is working to digitise pathology services across the country, whilst harnessing the associated data for research into improving patient care. NPIC’s strategic vision includes hosting a national research platform for digital pathology data, to support cutting edge research in the NHS and beyond.

This NPIC Research Delivery Manager role will play a key role in the realisation of this vision, and will be responsible for various projects, activities and exemplars that utilise this exciting new resource. The role requires excellent project management skills, as well as exceptional communication skills to facilitate complex collaboration activities with a wide range of stakeholders. As NPIC’s Research Delivery Manager, you will be expected to lead and support the successful completion of deliverables across a diverse range of complex projects involving healthcare, academic and industrial professionals. The role will rely on developing effective working relationships with stakeholders and suppliers, spanning a range of challenging multidisciplinary fields, including AI research, data science and systems development

Would you like to be at the forefront of digital pathology research into AI powered diagnostics in healthcare, supporting the delivery of a world-leading research platform, and a wide variety of research projects that rely on it?

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has been at the forefront of Digital Pathology research and innovation for over 20 years. NPIC builds on that advanced starting position, uniting a consortium of academic, clinical and industry partners with a common vision - to create a world-leading centre for digital pathology and artificial intelligence (AI) on which a UK industrial sector can grow and thrive. NPIC is a multidisciplinary and highly motivated team that is working to deliver these challenging ambitions. As a part of this team, you can expect a supportive environment and management that is receptive to the needs of individuals, continued development through training, and opportunities to be involved in diverse aspects of a multimillion-pound program.

A successful candidate will have significant experience with digital pathology and be comfortable working under pressure to deliver complex projects with changing demands on the service. The candidate should have a strong working knowledge of data access procedures within an acute NHS Trust setting, adhering to information governance policies. A proven track record of delivering research projects in a healthcare setting is essential, and a solid understanding of the technical aspects of large-scale digital deployments is advantageous.
