ACRC Fellows

The Advanced Care Research Centre (ACRC) is offering three proleptic fellowships for exceptional early to mid-career researchers with the potential to develop into leading research-active academics at the University of Edinburgh.

The Opportunity:

The Advanced Care Research Centre is an innovative, £20M multidisciplinary research programme operating across all three University of Edinburgh Colleges.  Our research aims to improve the quality and sustainability of care provision and to reduce inequalities in care provision in order to enhance the quality of life, dignity and the desired level of independence of people living with multiple conditions in later life.

We want you to bring your strong track record of innovative research and/or translation to the role and the potential to make an outstanding contribution to furthering the ACRC’s strategic goals.  We will consider all proposals which are relevant to our aims, but are particularly interested in people who can develop an innovative and novel independent research programme focusing on health and social care technologies applied to care in later life, or multimorbidity or healthy ageing.

These posts are full-time (35 hours per week) however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns.  We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.  

Candidates are encouraged to speak ACRC leads before applying. Please direct any enquiries to ACRC Director Prof Bruce Guthrie Bruce.Guthrie@ed.ac.uk, ACRC Health in Social Science Lead Prof Heather Wilkinson H.Wilkinson@ed.ac.uk or ACRC Informatics Lead Prof Jacques Fleuriot Jacques.Fleuriot@ed.ac.uk

Your skills and attributes for success: 

• PhD in a relevant area
• Post-doctoral research experience, with evidence of the ability to obtain funding to support research
• Recent record of excellent publications
• Experience and achievement in teaching, reflected in a personal teaching portfolio.
• Good understanding of the potential non-academic impacts of the research and ways of engaging in order to achieve these
