We are looking to appoint a Research Assistant in Participatory Methods and Co-Design 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. The post is based in the Department of Psychiatry and is full-time, although consideration will be given to candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 80% FTE) on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustment of duties.

You should hold an undergraduate degree or equivalent in a relevant subject such as psychiatry, bioethics and geography and have knowledge and/or experience in mental health/wellbeing science and/or participatory methodologies. Experience of contributing to participatory programmes with at least one of our target ages groups: adolescents, young adults or older adults is essential along with demonstrable skills in desk research methods (e.g., different kinds of review methodologies). You will have excellent communication skills, including the ability to write text that can be published, present data at conferences, and represent the research group at meetings. Experience of contributing to research publications and a willingness to travel to research sites in the UK would be desirable.

You will be required to upload a supporting statement, a CV, and details of two referees as part of your online application.

The closing date for this post is 12.00 midday on 13 May 2024.
