We are looking for a researcher with experience of health services research who has previously played a leading role in multi-disciplinary work at a complex University setting. Previous experience of NHS-based intervention research projects and mixed methods research, particularly survey methods, is an advantage.

We embrace equality, diversity and inclusion as well as the values of the Athena SWAN Charter in all our Departmental activities

**Role**:
The main purpose of the role is to manage the day-to-day delivery of the MenSH-IBD study by facilitating, contributing to, and monitoring research activities. Key duties will include: data collection; analysis and interpretation of research data; use of appropriate research techniques and methods (quantitative and qualitative); writing up of research results and dissemination through publications, seminar and conference presentations and public engagement and outreach activities; contributing to the identification of possible new areas of research.

The work will be undertaken with support from other members of the multidisciplinary team and under the supervision of Principal Investigators, Professor Paul Galdas at the University of York, and Mrs Sara Ma at York St. John University.

**Skills, Experience & Qualification needed**:

- Knowledge of a range of quantitative and qualitative research techniques and methodologies relevant to applied health research (e.g. surveys and qualitative interviews)
- Knowledge and understanding of the routine practices and procedures in research
- Highly developed communication skills to engage effectively with a wide ranging audience, both orally and in writing, using a range of media
- Ability to write up research work for publication in high profile journals and engage in public dissemination
- Ability to develop research objectives, projects and proposals for own and joint research, with the assistance of a mentor if required
- Experience of carrying out both independent and collaborative research

**Interview date**: To be confirmed

**Condition of employment**:
The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.

We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
