The Research Fellow will be specifically engaged in the Chief Scientist Office-funded Making it WorkTM - Scotland study and the URKI-funded Consortium to Research the Interpersonal, Individual and Social influences in Pain (CRIISP).


Making it Work is an online programme developed in Canada which provides support for people working with inflammatory arthritis, to help them to stay in work for as long as they wish to do so.

The programme has enabled individuals to feel more capable to meet work demands,and reduced the likelihood of sickness absence.

Our current project aims to expand the Making it Work programme so that it is relevant for people with a wider range of musculoskeletal conditions in Scotland, including non-inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

Using focus groups with patients, employers and healthcare professionals, we have sought input on changes to make to the programme to expand its scope.

The successful applicant will work with a map of existing programme components which has identified the aspects which require modification to address the study remit.

Working closely with content experts, the Research Fellow will coordinate the development of any new content or modify existing content as required.

Once the programme has been modified, the post holder will coordinate the evaluation of the modified programme's acceptability, relevance and usability using questionnaires and a series of one-on-one interviews with patients, and will then lead a final workshop with key stakeholders to discuss and agree any final changes.

CRIISP seeks to understand which psychosocial factors make pain start, stop, get better or get worse.


The Research Fellow will work on projects including reviews of existing evidence; empirical work informed by review results involving primary and/or secondary data analyses, and whether existing longitudinal datasets can further our understandings of psychosocial mechanisms implicated in the experience of persistent pain and pain state transitions.


The successful applicant will be highly motivated and will have significant experience of qualitative and quantitative research in healthcare settings and will have experience of working with both patients and staff at various levels of the NHS.

They will also have familiarity with the organisation of the NHS.

Salary will be paid at the rate of £35,333 per annum on Grade 6 of the university salary scale.

As this position is funded by external funders it will be available until 31 May 2025.
