The successful applicant will shadow and work with Professor Peter Ludman for an initial period of 2 years.  During this period of time, the successful applicant will assist Peter in running the audit activity of the Society, with the intention of learning the role.

Given the commitment that such a role requires, it is the intention of the Society to always have a Deputy Audit Lead in place, so that there are 2 members to share the work and responsibility in the future.

See the full job description here.

Application

Application is by self-nomination, with reference to the person specification above. A short supporting statement from the candidate, which specifically addresses their suitability for the role must accompany self-nomination in order for the application to be valid.

Given the unique nature of this role, the intention is that it will be chosen via a formal appointments process, including an Appointments Committee, rather than by a national election.

The closing date is Friday 20th November 2020 at 5 pm.

If you have any questions relating to the role, please feel free to reply to this email and we will get back to you,

With kind regards,

Clare Appleby

BCIS Peer Review Service

Written by

BCIS Peer Review Service

BCIS are pleased to provide its Peer Review Service service, designed to assist researchers and available without charge to all BCIS members.

OUR AIM:

To help BCIS members, who have developed a research proposal, to further refine this through constructive review and feedback – thus preparing researchers to navigate ‘hurdles’ such ethics committees, funding applications etc. and progress to active projects with a high likelihood of successful completion and reporting.

WHO CAN APPLY?:

This service will be available to any current BCIS member, irrespective of their current post, or previous research experience.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU:

The peer-review service is able to provide the following:

Principal Review

Review, by 2-3 consultant-level clinicians or senior academics, of the research proposal. Reviewers will usually be drawn from the BCIS membership, although for specific issues where other expertise is needed, external review may sometimes be sought.

We aim to provide a rapid turnaround, with these responses usually fed back to the submitting member within 4 weeks.

Additional Specialist Review

Applicants may request additional specialist review in the following domain:

i) Specialist statistical review – in specific cases where complex statistical methods are necessary as part of the protocol and where expertise in the relevant area is not available within BCIS

The BCIS research group will seek to commission these services for selected projects that are at an advanced stage of development and that are deemed, from the main review, to be close to finalisation.

Applicants not selected for immediate specialist review may re-apply as their project matures, for example after resolution of key issues raised in the principal review.

KEY GUIDING PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE BCIS PEER REVIEW SERVICE:

CONFIDENTIALITY – including the following working rules:

i) Proposals will only be seen by, and circulated amongst, the selected reviewers and the peer-review scheme coordinators

ii) Feedback will be provided directly via the coordinators to the submitting researcher only

iii) The option to choose anonymised (i.e. blind) review, if the submitting member prefers

KEY GUIDING PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE BCIS PEER REVIEW SERVICE:
CONSTRUCTIVE – hence no reason for members who are considering making a submission for peer review to feel intimidated about seeking BCIS input.

COLLEGIATE – ownership of the idea and the project will remain entirely with the submitting researcher.
