The successful candidate will be required to conduct high level and impactful research fostering collaborations with key stakeholders within the University as well as regionally, nationally and internationally. You will support a positive, inclusive and collaborative research culture, providing academic leadership, mentoring and support for PhD researchers and early career researchers. The appointee will make a substantial and positive contribution to the strategic direction of the Centre for Rural Health Sciences, actively engaging in relationships with external stakeholders that advance knowledge exchange, and public understanding across the sector. Applicants should have a PhD in a health-related area with an established track record as an accomplished researcher, demonstrating external grant capture, high quality peer reviewed publications and post graduate supervision.

The Centre of Rural Health Sciences is part of the university’s Health, Social Care and Life Sciences subject area that brings together all health researchers and related teaching at UHI. Based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, we have a campus in Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, and in Stornoway on the Isle  of Lewis.  We provide accessible, evidence informed education for nurses and other health and social care professionals, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, and are committed to supporting our students to make a significant contribution to the care of patients and the public.
