Research Associate or Senior Research Associate in Evidence Synthesis

The role

This exciting opportunity offers you a role working on evidence synthesis projects as part of the HIPPY research programme based in the Musculoskeletal Research Unit, Bristol Medical School.

This will involve updating our previous systematic review on outcomes for the different implant types and conducting reviews to understand risk factors and outcomes for younger and older patients receiving hip replacement. With support from the wider HIPPY team, the postholder will be responsible for designing and running the searches, screening, data extraction, conducting meta-analysis/narrative synthesis and dissemination of findings.

You should apply if

You have a strong background in evidence synthesis, a postgraduate research degree or equivalent professional experience in a relevant discipline, and experience of publishing findings in peer-review journals.
