You will also be involved in providing and/or reviewing psychometric analyses, providing input to the interpretation of results, and disseminating these to our clients. You will also serve as a psychometric consultant internally for the wider Adelphi Values research team and help deliver internal training on relevant methodologies. You will be encouraged and supported to present work externally at conferences and via peer-reviewed publications. Opportunities to develop your knowledge through ongoing training and academic collaboration will also be provided.
