Research Fellow in Evidence Synthesis (109950-1224)

Location: University of Warwick Campus, Coventry

About the Role

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Chris Stinton (Co-Director of WeBS-ESG) at C.Stinton@warwick.ac.uk.

We are seeking an outstanding systematic reviewer to join the ambitious and growing Warwick Screening team within the Warwick and Birmingham Screening Evidence Synthesis Group.

We are a multidisciplinary team of systematic reviewers, epidemiologists, health economists, and statisticians who deliver evidence synthesis (evidence maps, rapid reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and economic modelling) for national and international policymakers. All our research is applied, informs national health screening policy, and has international influence on how screening is delivered. Our team prides itself on the longevity of its staff members and our dedication to developing the next generation of research staff specifically skilled in undertaking reviews on health screening. 

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.  

About You  

We are looking for an outstanding researcher who has experience of conducting and publishing multiple evidence maps, rapid reviews or systematic reviews and who has a positive and collegiate attitude. The successful candidate will have completed doctoral studies, will need to have a demonstrable capacity to publish at the highest level, and have an ambitious future research agenda. Additionally, it is important that the candidate have a keen understanding of health economics.

Please do not apply if you have not conducted multiple systematic reviews, rapid reviews or evidence maps within the field of health or do not have some knowledge of health screening policy in the UK. 

For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.
