The Department of Clinical Research (DCR)

The Department of Clinical Research (DCR) is an academic center and umbrella organization supporting clinical researchers at the University of Bern and the University Hospitals. It is comprised of a range of established academic research units, dedicated methodological divisions, a Clinical Investigation Unit, a Medical Data Science subunit established in 2025, and a Gender Medicine Unit scheduled for implementation in 2026.
The DCR is a multidisciplinary institution that serves as a central body for expertise, innovation, strategic leadership, modern pedagogical approaches, and integrated infrastructure to support clinical research. It offers support to clinical researchers, along the entire research process from study design to implementation. DCR maintains close collaborative ties with the Medical Faculty of the University of Bern and the associated University Hospitals.

The DCR is a national leader in Switzerland in the field of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI), which refers to the active involvement of patients and members of the public in the design, conduct, and dissemination of research. PPI helps ensure that research is relevant, transparent, and aligned with the needs and priorities of those it aims to benefit.

We are looking for a Clinical Study Manager at the DCR to start in 2027. This is a fixed-term position for an initial period of 3 years with possibility of renewal, in accordance with the University of Bern's employment regulations.
