Unlock the Secrets of Global Health

The role of a Medical Research Specialist is pivotal in designing, managing, and ensuring the quality of investigations into health and social issues.

This diverse position entails working with community members to understand pathways and barriers to accessing healthcare, developing deep understandings of people's perceptions of complex or sensitive health topics, and leading field research studies.

Key activities include:

  • Conducting qualitative engagement with local people to better understand their constraints, priorities, and agency
  • Engaging with government ministries, academics, and others to leverage knowledge and expertise
  • Developing study tools to address specific questions or topics of interest to MSF teams
  • Drafting reports or other forms of output to communicate findings

The postholder's main responsibility is to design, manage, and ensure the quality of often complex and multi-pronged investigations into health and social issues.

This most often entails qualitative engagement with local people to better understand their constraints, priorities, and agency, but may also include engagement with government ministries, academics, and others, as well as audit or evaluation of MSF's own work.

An estimated salary for this role is £45,000-£55,000 per annum, based on location and industry standards.

About the Job

This role is ideal for an individual who is passionate about global health and has a strong background in research and analysis.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.
