An exciting opportunity to join a group of internationally renowned researchers.
We are looking for candidates who can identify areas for research, develop new research methods and extend our existing research portfolio.
This position will focus on refinement of research methodologies in two critical areas of applied health research: delivery of rapid evaluation and enhancing the relevance of research by ensuring research includes participant populations with the greatest need.
Our work is directly informed by the needs of both this system and the local population. Our over-arching goal is to improve the health of the GM population and the quality and sustainability of the health and social care they receive. We will achieve this by co-producing excellent research in areas prioritised by the system and by enhancing its impact through supported implementation into policy and practice.
You will work with Prof. Peter Bower as well as other members of the Evaluation Theme (including Prof. Jo Dumville) and will be based in the Division of Population Health, Health Services Research and Primary Care in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health.
