We are looking to appoint two Research Assistants in Flourishing and Wellbeing located within the Neuroscience, Ethics and Society (NEUROSEC) Team in the Department of Psychiatry.  Led by Professor Ilina Singh, the NEUROSEC Team has an international reputation for its work in neuroscience ethics and psychiatric ethics and is uniquely situated within Oxford Psychiatry and Neuroscience, building collaborative research relationships with scientists, clinicians and public stakeholders, whilst maintaining a critical perspective and a portfolio of independent research projects.

You must be able to demonstrate skills in literature review methodologies, and be able to effectively review and synthesise scientific and clinical literature.
