Role Description
Following recent grant successes, including significant funding to expand our York Evidence Synthesis Group, CRD is looking for a Senior Research Fellow in Evidence Synthesis.

About Us:
CRD is an academic research department that specialises in and is at the forefront of evidence synthesis. Our systematic reviews and other evidence synthesis projects span a broad range of health and public health areas to provide best evidence to inform policy and practice decisions, and are underpinned by a programme of methodological development and commitment to knowledge exchange.

Your Role:
As a Senior Research Fellow, you will lead evidence synthesis and health technology assessment projects within our existing research programs, which are funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). You will also have the opportunity to develop your own research ideas and projects, contributing to the growth and leadership of the department.

Why Join CRD?

• Flexible Working: Enjoy hybrid and flexible working patterns, including part-time hours and partially remote work options within the UK.
• Inclusive Community: We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture where we can all be ourselves and everyone can thrive.

Who We’re Looking For:

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates and particularly encourage applications from people who identify as being from the Black African and Caribbean Heritage community, Asian, or other ethnic backgrounds that are underrepresented in the University of York.
