You will also need to be capable of contributing to publications/scientific communications, to demonstrate and actively promote an open and honest working environment, encourage close teamwork and foster knowledge transfer.  
 
The ideal candidate will possess:
  • Bachelor's degree, or local equivalent. Post-graduate qualification in a related field preferred (e.g. MSc, PhD/DPhil, Clinical).
