The Division of Respiratory Sciences at the University of Leicester are seeking a Qualitative Research Associate to join them on a fixed term basis to work on a 12-month project funded by the Midlands Asthma and Allergy Research Association (MAARA), a registered charity based in the East Midlands. In this project, we are exploring the educational needs of paediatric patients and their carers about asthma management. This will involve conducting interviews with children and young people (CYPs years) living with asthma, parents/carers of CYPs and healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in asthma care. Interviews can be held virtually or in person in Leicester and hence some amount of local travel might be involved. This is a part-time position with opportunity for hybrid working; working days and days in office will be agreed in discussion with line manager.
About you
You will hold a PhD (or be near completion) in a relevant field such as public health, sociology, psychology or another social/health science discipline with qualitative expertise. Significant experience in qualitative research methods, including semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, is essential, as is experience engaging with children and young people in a professional or research capacity.
You will demonstrate excellent communication skills, the ability to work independently and collaboratively, and a commitment to professional development. Experience in participant recruitment, NHS ethics governance processes, and contributing to peer-reviewed publications will be highly valued. As a member of our inclusive and inspiring community, you will share our commitment to equity, diversity, and delivering impactful research that makes a difference.
Additional information
Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Dr Mayuri Gogoi on [email protected]
As part of the University's ongoing commitment to professional development, this role will also be considered on a seconded basis for existing staff members. Please ensure this is discussed with your line manager prior to applying. More information regarding secondments can be found here
