Methods Implementation Coordinator

Cochrane is a global, independent network of health practitioners, researchers, patient advocates and others, responding to the challenge of making vast amounts of research evidence useful for informing decisions about health. We do this by synthesizing research findings to produce the best available evidence on what can work, what might harm and where more research is needed. Our work is recognized as the international gold standard for high quality, trusted information. Though we are spread out across the globe, our shared passion for health evidence unites us and it is important that the role holder can work effectively and collaboratively with a diverse range of contacts across the world.

Our Central Executive Team supports this work and is divided into four directorates. This role reports to the Head of Editorial Policy & Research Integrity and sits within the Editorial Policy & Research Integrity team in the Evidence Production and Methods Directorate.   

Key areas of responsibility include

• Contribute to the use and development of data and responsible AI approaches to support evidence synthesis. 
• Support the delivery of methods development and implementation projects, contributing to improvements in data management and the value of published review data.
• Support the development and delivery of best practice guidance, training, and communications to embed methodological improvements across Cochrane.
• Engage with Methods Groups and stakeholders to support the identification of priorities, gaps, and methodological developments, contributing to a community-informed agenda.

The successful candidate is expected to have

• An understanding of systematic review methods and their development, including responsible AI use.
• Strong project and programme management skills.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving. 
• An ability to develop and maintain working relationships with key stakeholders.
