As part of awards from the Medical Research Council within their Advanced Pain Discover Programme (APDP) our Consortium Against Pain InEquality (CAPE) has been funded to investigate the impact of adverse childhood experiences on chronic pain and responses to treatment, while the CHIPP project is quantifying the potential for population prevention programmes to reduce the burden of high impact chronic pain. We therefore seek to make an appointment of a Research Fellow with a primary qualification in Mathematics or Statistics to undertake work on these projects.

The post holder may also be involved in the CHIPP project analysing data to quantify the impact of possible population health interventions in reducing the burden of high impact pain using UK Biobank.
