The ESVS is looking for additional members to join the European Research Hub (ERH) committee. ERH is a relatively new committee of the ESVS that is responsible for the development of research activity in the Society.
The role of a new committee member will be to:
- Evaluate research proposals from European researchers and industry, providing informed peer-review and endorsement to support external funding. Proposals can be initiated by individual researchers, groups, as well as by the ESVS Guidelines and Vascunet committees.
- Develop new research proposals in line with current clinical priorities identified by ESVS (for example from the guidelines committee)
- Facilitate the implementation of good quality research studies and clinical trials.
- Maintain, and update continuously, a list of interested researchers/institutions that can be invited to participate when a proposal for multicentre research is endorsed.
- Maintain a contact list of experienced epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and other experts that can be consulted when a clinical study or trial is designed.
- Facilitate contact with established research facilities. This can be helpful when a study or trial is conducted, such as data management, randomisation, production of placebo tablets, etc.
- Organise educational activities during ESVS and other meetings.
We anticipate that the ERH will continue to grow. The European Venous Registry (EVeR) is about to commence and this is a ERH initiated and delivered registry. In future we anticipate that ERH have enough financial and organisational strength to perform multinational RCTs, addressing important outstanding clinical issues where we still lack evidence to enable evidence based clinical decision-making. More information can be found in the following link where the details of the project are outlined.
If you are an ESVS member and are interested in joining the ERH, please submit your application using the form below, including the following documents:
1) A letter of intention, where you describe why you would like to work on this project (maximum 2 pages).
2) A general CV, with focus on your previous experience in planning and implementing research projects (maximum 4 pages).
3) A list of publications, highlighting the 10 most important publications for this task.
We welcome your application. The deadline is midday on 10th January. Applicants will be shortlisted and successful candidates will be invited to join an interview on 16th January
For informal enquiries or further information please email Professor Robert Hinchliffe, ERH Chair (Robert.Hinchliffe@bristol.ac.uk)
