Closing Date: Sunday 13 October 2024
Interview Date: Friday 25 October 2024

The University is seeking to appoint two Post-Doctoral Research Associates to join the team in the Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health. These positions are funded by Research England's Expanding Excellence in England Fund as part of a £10.9 million grant aiming to grow the research capacity and capability of the Institute.

The Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health (LIRCH) is the country's first integrated and multidisciplinary research institute dedicated to rural and coastal health research. LIRCH has been awarded £10.9 million funding from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund and is in the process of significant expansion. As part of this expansion, the University will recruit to over twenty research positions. A technical and professional services team will also be embedded within the Institute to support the research and develop a financially sustainable research Institute.

With this expanded capacity, the Institute will bring together multiple disciplines to produce impactful research helping to tackle the place-based inequalities experienced by rural, coastal, and remote communities. By co-designing and shaping the emerging discipline together with the next generation of researchers and affected communities, LIRCH aims to create the future academic and community leaders of rural and coastal health.

You will contribute to shaping the collective research portfolio of LIRCH and are expected to have displayed a keen interest in the health outcome disparities faced by rural and coastal communities throughout their academic career to date.
