About the role

We are recruiting a Senior Research Assistant with expertise in qualitative research methods to work on a study (STROKE-TWIN) recently funded by the National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR). The study aims to reduce life-altering differences in emergency stroke care by identifying and understanding hospital-level variations in the use and speed of proven medical (thrombolysis) and mechanical (thrombectomy) clot-removing treatments. This is a collaboration between several universities and NHS partners and provides a unique opportunity to conduct qualitative research at the intersection between health technology and clinical practice on a national level. Specifically, we are looking to appoint a qualitative researcher with experience of using semi-structured interviews and focus groups or workshops.
