3 weeks ago
We are seeking a skilled and experienced Research Associate to join our team at Newcastle University. The successful candidate will be working on an international collaborative project, Evaluating the delivery of whole exome sequencing for patients with muscle diseases in Latin America.
As a Research Associate, you will undertake, transcribe, translate, and co-analyse online semi-structured interviews in Spanish/Portuguese with patients and families from Latin American countries who have received a genetic test result for muscle disease.
The role involves exploring how the genetic test result has made a difference to their lives, how it has been communicated to them, and how they have reacted to the diagnosis. You will also contribute to grant applications submitted by others and develop your own research objectives and proposals for funding.
This is a unique opportunity to be involved in a project that gives feedback to our Latin American partners on their emerging genetics services and to learn transferable lessons from their experience to benefit mainstream delivery of genetic testing in the UK.
The project aims to critically explore how Genetic Counselling is delivered in Latin American countries where there is limited or no Genetic Counselling resource. The study objectives are:
- To critically explore the experiences of Health Care Professionals giving a diagnosis and patients' and families experiences of receiving a genetic diagnosis
- To understand how, and if, any changes are made to patients' care depending on the outcome of Whole Exome Sequencing (explanatory variant found, no variant found, variant of uncertain significance found)
- To identify, describe, and understand how genetic information is communicated within families
- To understand culturally specific influences on delivering and receiving diagnoses via Whole Exome Sequencing
The study outputs will develop educational input and resources, share findings with partners to grow their genetics services, and improve patient outcomes. The project will generate new knowledge about delivering effective Genetic Counselling to improve patient outcomes in partner countries and the UK.
This is a part-time position, 50% FTE (18.5 hours per week), fixed term for a period of 14 months. The post requires some flexibility to work in Latin America.
