We are a diverse multidisciplinary team conducting high-quality and innovative research addressing complex health and social care challenges of the 21st century.

The applicant must have a background in epidemiology, knowledge of big data in health, excellent written and spoken English, and the ability to work at pace to deliver outputs within tight deadlines.

The post is offered full-time for 6 months. The salary for this position will be level 4 (£34,980 to £42,978 per annum)

About you

If you believe you meet the requirements for the post, come and join us to take forward this exciting opportunity. You will be part of an innovative and dynamic research group where you will be valued, included and supported. 

You must have experience in writing up findings to publication standards within limited timelines with excellent writing, editing, and communication skills in English. You will have the ability to distil complex ideas and concepts into clear, accessible and engaging written outputs for a range of audiences.

You will have a track record of scholarly publications in peer-reviewed journals, experience in conducting big data statistical analyses (cox, logistic, latent class analysis) and familiarity with using scholarly publication platforms.

You will be able to work to tight deadlines, manage your time independently, be flexible to accommodate project demands and be responsive to requests from line managers and other colleagues. You will possess excellent organisational skills and high professional standards. 

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.
