About us
The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) is a leading centre for mental health and neuroscience research in Europe. Research from the IoPPN has made, and continues to make, an impact on how we understand, prevent and treat mental illness, neurological conditions and other conditions that affect the brain.
The Department of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences (FANS) is one of Europe’s largest research groups, bringing together leading experts in brain development and neurodiversity. We undertake basic sciences, translation, and applied clinical research to improve outcomes.
Working as part of a world-class academic team based in the FANS Department and with collaborators in other Universities and the third sector, the successful candidate will play a central role in the delivery of a high-profile and innovative research project funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
The ENHANCED research programme aims to harness the power of routinely collected electronic health data to improve healthcare delivery to people with a learning disability and autistic people. This involves using multiple linked data sources of primary, secondary, and social care, and investigating the use of reasonable adjustments to reduce healthcare inequalities, and a novel Machine Learning workstream to develop an intervention which may be implemented in routine clinical care.
About the role
We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Research Assistant who has an interest in and/or experience of research with people with neurodevelopmental conditions or clinical informatics using real-world electronic health data.
The Research Assistant will play key role in the delivery and operational running of the ENHANCE research project. This includes drafting project protocols, ethics applications, and data sharing agreements as well as study documents, updates, and outputs, as well as co-ordinating study meetings between the research team and other stakeholders. There will be elements of data curation, management, and analysis, supported by a post-doctoral Research Associate and other members of the research team. The Research Assistant will work closely with our Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) Co-Investigators and people with lived experience of neurodevelopmental conditions and their carers to help shape the research and understand the ethical implications of our work.
The successful candidate will liaise regularly with our collaborators and research sites and will be required to have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
The post-holder will be responsible to the project Principal Investigators, Professor Andre Strydom and Dr Rory Sheehan. The post-holder will be supported in their role by the wider research team and a post-doctoral Research Associate.
We will support academic career development, for example, in professional skills development through local Early Career Researcher Networks and the College’s wider training programme.
This is a full-time role (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered an fixed-term contract until 31/03/28.
