At University of Hull, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world's talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in University of Hull workplace. These include people from global majority backgrounds; people who have a declared disability; LGBTQI+ people; and women particularly for our Grade 9 and 10 roles.

We reserve the right to close the advert early if a satisfactory amount of applications have been received.

We are seeking multiple temporary Research Assistants to join the CoACH: Alcohol & Cognition research team, which is exploring the prevalence of cognitive impairment amongst hospital inpatients with alcohol use disorders.

These positions will be based at Hull Royal Infirmary, Anlaby Rd, Hull HU3 2JZ where the successful candidates will work with Dr Lynsey Corless (Principal Investigator) to recruit hospital inpatients and deliver the CoACH-AC research study.

The post holders will be employed by the University of Hull and will be accountable to, and report to Dr Philippa Case, Senior Research Fellow. They will also have an honorary contract with Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Successful candidates will be based at Hull Royal Infirmary for the majority of their time. As such we would welcome applications from candidates who live locally to the area, or within a practicable travelling distance. There may be some occasional travel required as part of the role to the University of Hull for the purposes of induction, training and team meetings.

The successful candidates will recruit patients with lived experience of alcohol use disorders to an observational study. They will be based at Hull Royal Infirmary, where they will work closely with the Principal Investigator, clinical research nurses and ward staff to identify and recruit participants, take informed consent, conduct research questionnaires and enter data.

The ideal candidates will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, in addition to experience of administering psychometric tests, and engaging with vulnerable people in clinical or research settings.  

These posts are for a period of up to 5-months with variable hours across the 7-day week available. The role is flexible, and hours will be dependent upon progress with participant recruitment.
