Brighton, United Kingdom University of Sussex Full time

The project ‘**Empowering communities through university partnerships in public health’** brings together two institutes of medicine - at Tribhuvan University in Nepal and the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines - and CORTH at the University of Sussex.

In many parts of the world, communities have had little voice in national public health initiatives. Health providers often take a top-down approach, ‘preaching’ to families about how they should live more healthy lives and ignoring their everyday realities. As part of our interdisciplinary team from education and public health, you will explore how universities can contribute directly to transforming attitudes towards marginalised communities.

Based at the University of Sussex, the Research Assistant (RA) will work closely with Professor Anna Robinson-Pant, the Principal Investigator, to support the research teams in the Philippines and Nepal. The RA role is to:

- develop methodological resources for the team, particularly in participatory action research and ethnography
- conduct literature reviews and documentary analysis
- support, monitor and document impact activities, as well as lead communication outputs
- contribute to the team’s academic outputs, including a synthesis report and guidelines for public health workers
- organise an international hybrid conference in Manila to share ongoing findings (including a short visit to UST)
- The University of Sussex values the diversity of its staff and students and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds._
- You can find out more about our values and our EDI Strategy, _Inclusive Sussex_, on our webpages._
