Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom University of Hull Full time

At University of Hull, 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 University of Hull workplace.

These include people from global majority backgrounds; people who have a declared disability; LGBTQI+ people; and women particularly for our Grade 9 and 10 roles.

We reserve the right to close the advert early if a satisfactory amount of applications.

This is a 5 year, fixed-term contract, funded by the NIHR in which the appointed person will become part of a larger interdisciplinary team of researchers investigating addiction and mental health conditions. Under the leadership of Professor Thomas Phillips, Professor of Nursing in Addiction and Professor Judith Cohen, Hull Health Trials Unit (HHTU), the research team has secured a five-year award, supported by our partners at the University of York and King’s College London, to develop addiction and mental health research based at the University of Hull. The research targets national priorities and the mental health needs of our population with the aim of improving access to care and treatment that works. Working closely with health and social care providers as well as patients and the public, we have developed an ambitious programme of research across three themes: 

 

Theme 1:Young people with substance use (SUD) and mental health presentations (MHP). 

Theme 2: Adults with substance use and mental health presentations. 

Theme 3: Defining the needs of adults with alcohol-related cognitive impairment. 

 

This post will be aligned to Theme 1 which aims to improve care pathways for young people (i.e. 10-18 years) with substance use and mental health problems who often miss out in receiving the help they need. We seek to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow & Trial Manager to work with co-investigators and a wider research team to deliver an integrated mixed methods research programme to examine the levels of unmet need amongst young people with SUD and MHP. You would work closely with the HHTU and study team to ensure the successful management and delivery of a definitive trial, co-ordinating study activity across all aspects of trial set-up, recruitment, close-out, analysis and reporting. We have planned extensive patient, public involvement and engagement (PPIE) throughout the project, that includes the appointment of young people on research internships, to ensure that young people with lived experience are central to the research programme. 

The post will be based in the award winning Allam Medical Building, University of Hull. The Addiction and Mental Health Research team is part of the thriving academic community within the Faculty of Health Sciences including postgraduates studying PhDs. The research team provides outstanding methodological expertise in high-quality clinical and applied health research. The role would suit an applied health researcher with quantitative research experience and PhD (or close to PhD completion) who wishes to pursue a career in applied health research. 

This post requires an enhanced clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service for Adult & Child Workforce.
