This is an exciting opportunity to work as a Research Fellow within the CHILDS programme, which is at the forefront of clinical-academic research for population health paediatrics. The Child Health Integrated Learning and Delivery System (CHILDS) team sits across Evelina London children’s hospital, the Department of Women and Children’s Health at King’s College London, and King’s Health Partners Women and Children’s Health clinical-academic group.

The team will apply learning from the Children and Young People’s Health Partnership programme to several new projects, linked to NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) South London and South East London Integrated Care System priorities for children and young people. 

The team is clinical-academic, so this role will work across both sides, providing the main research link between teams. The post holder will have a key role in managing or conducting all aspects of the development and conduct of the population paediatrics projects, including evaluation design and conduct, data collection, data analysis, data visualisation, and the preparation of reports, papers and presentations.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a mixed methods researcher with experience of working in a transdisciplinary team and on applied research projects. The post-holder will be the lead researcher on the population paediatrics team. 

The post holder will lead the assessment of child health and health service needs, intervention design and service and research evaluations. They will need extensive experience of using routinely collected health service use data, from secondary and primary care sources, for observational and interventional research. They will be expected to undertake a wide range of research activities (including rapid evidence reviews, qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis) as well as drafting reports, peer-reviewed publications and assisting in developing research proposals.
