Research Associate x2 (fixed-term)

Two Research Associate posts are available in the Local Health and Global Profits consortium. 

This grant is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and is one of the four themes within the Population Health Improvement Network. For more information on this Network, see Population Health Improvement UK and Local Health and Global Profits PHI-UK. 

You will be joining a friendly and dynamic team of multidisciplinary researchers working at the cutting edge of public health research. 

The roles will be based within the Centre for 21st Century Public Health at the University of Bath.  
 

About the roles  

The two posts will work across the project’s work packages (specifically 1, 3 and 5) and involve:   

• Supporting systems mapping exercises with local authorities   
• Conducting research and updating the evidence base related to systems mapping   
• Leading on development, testing, roll out and evaluation of resources that aim to support local authorities in developing and implementing policies to improve health at local level  
• Supporting implementation of actions to address the wider determinants of health and wellbeing (including commercial factors) at local authority level   
• Synthesising the findings and drawing them together to inform other aspects of LHGP  

Travel in the UK to conduct research will be required. 

Both roles will involve applied public health policy research, including collating and evaluating existing tools, grey literature reviews, and case study evaluations using qualitative or mixed methods. 
  
The roles will therefore be varied, providing many opportunities to develop skills in participatory public health methods, as well as wider training.  

Opportunities to gain teaching experience will be available should the jobholder be interested. 
 
About you 

You will have excellent attention to detail, have a strong team work ethic, be able to work flexibly, be an excellent communicator and be able to work under pressure in a fast-paced dynamic environment.  

Further Information

These roles are offered on a full time (36.5 hours per week), fixed term basis with an expected end date of 31/03/2028.
