SARA: Semi-Automated Risk Assessment of Data Provenance and Clinical Free-Text in Trusted Research Environments (TREs) is a DARE UK-funded project which aims to prototype a semi-automated risk assessment toolkit for all health providers across the UK, based on the principles of data provenance and privacy assessment. Following a human-centred design approach is essential to addressing design challenges and ensuring the prototype meets the needs and expectations of the users.

The research fellow will join an interdisciplinary team and contribute to the project by carrying out user research tasks to inform prototype design. The research fellow will conduct interviews and participatory design sessions to identify user perspectives, preferences, and priorities. Based on the findings, the research fellow will create low fidelity designs which capture user interfaces for provenance data collection and visualisation, to maximise the utility of provenance information in the context of error prevention and trustworthiness of produced assets. In addition, the research fellow will design and conduct evaluation experiments for the prototype and contribute to the dissemination of project outputs. The appointee will also provide technical support for various project events such as community workshops and outreach activities.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on Grade 6, £35,333 - £42,155 per annum with placement according to qualifications and experience. This will be pro rata for 80% FTE, 30 hours per week.

This post does not meet the minimum requirements for visa sponsorship under the Skilled Worker Route. We are therefore unable to consider applicants for this post that require sponsorship to work in the UK.
