Research Fellow - TIMES project, HYMS
Closing date 16th February 2022
The Academy of Primary Care at Hull York Medical School seeks to appoint a research fellow with applied health services research expertise to work on this NIHR funded programme grant. This post is offered for an initial period of 18 months, with intention to extend for a further 3.5 years. Remote working may be possible although the post does include fieldwork in the region.
Application details can be found here
TIMES is a programme of research funded with over £2 million by the National Institute of Health Research to co-design and develop a tool to help patients, carers and professionals produce tailored care plans that meet the sleep-related needs of people with dementia or memory problems and their carers, while reducing harm from sleeping medicines.
TIMES will be delivered by a partnership between Hull, Exeter (programme lead, Professor Chris Fox), University of East Anglia, Oxford, and Aston Universities. The Academy offers primary care expertise to the whole project; and is leading work packages looking at enablers and barriers to tailored care (building on related previous work by our team), and co-design of a novel complex intervention. If successful, we will then be a recruitment site for a cluster-randomised trial.
This full-time role will be based at the Allam Medical Building, University of Hull, working with experienced researchers and academics from within the Academy, the Medical School, the Institute for Clinical and Applied Health Research at Hull, as well as colleagues across Hull and York universities.
The post will be of interest to anyone with experience of health and health care related research methods and theory. The post offers an exciting opportunity for a primary care/health services researcher to both develop their own academic career as well as contribute to making a difference in primary care.
