About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated individual with a track record of high-quality academic research in the dementia field.

We will build on our novel models of personalised care in community settings that optimise equitable access, including supporting navigation of e-health systems and remote consultations. We will focus on people living with dementia who are underserved (e.g., living alone without a carer), with low health/digital literacy and/or from ethnic minority groups.

Appointment Details:

  • Funding is available until 31 March 2026.
  • Appointment at Grade 8.
  • This is offered at 1.0 FTE (Full-time) We will consider applications to work on a part-time basis (50%).

Application Process:

  • Please use the personal statement section to explain how you meet each of the essential and desirable criteria outlined in the person specification.
  • In the event we get a high number of applications, we may close the advert early before the published closing date. As a minimum we will keep all adverts open for 2 weeks.
  • We aim to interview on 14th/15th May 2024.
  • For queries regarding the position, please contact Professor Kate Walters

About you

Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field; an interest in and commitment to a career in dementia research; experience of applying qualitative and quantitative research methods to evaluate complex health interventions; experience of conducting research with people with dementia and their carers; and a good peer-reviewed publication record.

What we offer

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which can be found here: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/reward-and-benefits.

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The Institute also holds an Athena SWAN Bronze Award, in recognition of our commitment and demonstrable impact in advancing gender equality.

As London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong.

We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce.
