Qualitative Researcher

We are seeking to appoint a post-doctoral researcher to complete a qualitative evidence synthesis on the topic of breast cancer and ethnicity. This work is funded by a Cancer Research UK project grant awarded to Associate Professor Toral Gathani in the CEU.

 

Key duties will include: conduct a qualitative evidence synthesis and be able to prepare working theories and systematically review and analyse qualitative from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining theories as appropriate; manage own academic research and administrative activities; and collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and occasionally present papers and posters.

 

The ideal candidate will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil, together with relevant experience in conducting all aspects of a qualitative evidence synthesis. Proficiency in the use of relevant standard software packages used for analysis e.g. NVivo is required, and the candidate must possess sufficient specialist knowledge in the relevant disciplines to work on the research objectives described.

 

In addition, you should possess excellent communication skills, including the ability to write scientific publications, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings. Experience of independently managing a discrete area of a research project would be desirable.

 

This is a part-time role (0.5 FTE), fixed term post for 6 months but other working patterns can be considered such as full time (1.0 FTE) for 3 months.

 

 

You will be required to upload a CV and Supporting Statement as part of your online application. The Supporting Statement should include a cover letter and should also clearly describe how you meet each of the selection criteria listed in the job description.
