About The Role
The successful applicant will join a thriving mental health research team with over £40M in joint funding in the past five years. You will develop new skills and receive career development support while applying your research, analytical, and programming expertise to answer mental health questions.

The team, led by Prof. Ann John, focuses on child and adolescent mental health, suicide, and self-harm prevention. Prof. John is the chair of the National Advisory Group on suicide and self-harm prevention to Welsh Government, a member of SAGE, a Trustee of the Samaritans, co-director of DATAMIND, Principal Investigator of the National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH), and leads the Data Science theme at the Wolfson Centre for Young People's Mental Health.
