**Postdoctoral Research Associate**

**UE07; £37,099 - £44,263 Per Annum pro rata - Appointment will be made at Spinal Point 30 (£37,099.00 pro rata) due to funding restrictions**

**College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences,School of Health in Social Science, Edinburgh Centre for Research on the Experience of Dementia (ECRED)**

**Fixed Term until 31st October 2025**

**31.5 hours per week (90% FTE)
We are looking for a motivated and diligent post-doctoral researcher to join our team to undertake research and coordination for two externally-funded projects relating to arts and health.

We are open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

**The Opportunity**:
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate, you will work within the Edinburgh Centre for Research on the Experience of Dementia (ECRED) on two exciting new projects. You will lead on projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (IMAGINED: Investigating Meaning-making and the cocreation of Guidelines for Evaluation IN participatory Arts for Dementia) and the Medical Research Council (Effects of social leisure engagement on the psychological, cognitive, and physical wellbeing of older adults). Respectively, the projects will involve developing a theoretical foundation and novel applied framework that considers relational meaning-making processes as central to the health of those living with dementia, and exploring the impact of social leisure engagement on older adults' psychological, cognitive, and physical wellbeing. The studies are mixed-methods, but the work for this post will primarily be qualitative and arts-based. Both projects include knowledge-exchange and public engagement activities.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- You will coordinate and manage recruitment and data collection for both studies so that data can be collected on time and to target.
- You will carry out literature searches, engage in reading of relevant theoretical literature, analyse data using software (e.g., NVivo), and write-up analyses ready for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals.
- You will engage with internal and external partners and individuals, including organisational relationship management (e.g., with Scottish Ballet and Music and Hospitals and Care), coordination of a co-production group (for the IMAGINED study) and contributing to a cross-sector advisory group (for the MRC study).
- You will report to the project lead on a regular basis on project development, and organising and attending relevant meetings with ECRED and key external stakeholders. You will assist with general administrative duties and other tasks as may arise from changing circumstances and as identified by the Project Lead.
