London, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time
The role

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and experienced researcher with an enthusiasm for quantitative evidence synthesis. You will join the Bristol NIHR Evidence Synthesis Group, one of nine groups contracted by the NIHR to conduct evidence syntheses within the NIHR remit.
You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team benefiting from working alongside international leaders in the field of evidence synthesis. You will also work closely with other team members including other reviewers, statisticians, information specialists, qualitative researchers and health economists.

There will be opportunities to develop methodological research projects related to the applied reviews commissioned by NIHR. You will contribute to the preparation of reports and papers for publication and participate effectively in activities to maximise engagement with research and/or impact beyond academia.

You have:
• A PhD in epidemiology, public health, medical statistics or other relevant quantitative discipline 
• Significant experience of research in an academic setting
• Experience of conducting systematic reviews, scoping reviews, rapid reviews or overviews of various types of evidence
• Experience of preparing reports and papers for publication
• A systematic and thorough approach to work with a high level of attention to detail
• Excellent organisational and time management skills
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
A commitment to team working, professionalism and respect for others
