Description

Applications are invited for a Grade 7 Researcher, mainly using qualitative methods, to work with a team led by Professor Paul Aveyard on the TRIDENT research programme which aims to help people with serious mental illness reduce harm from smoking.

The post will involve working with patients and staff in mental healthcare to adapt the interventions, including using conversation analysis, think-aloud, interviews, and observational methods to understand how the intervention needs adapting and whether adapted interventions meet their goals.

Thereafter, the role will involve using implementation science models to understand the process of rollout in routine mental healthcare and understand how the outcomes of the intervention have come to be achieved.

The post is embedded in the thriving Health Behaviours Team, who work on interventions to prevent or treat ill-health by intervening on diet, obesity, and smoking.

We have a growing focus on using qualitative methods and conversation analysis to understand health communication.

We also have a strong track record of applied research that can benefit patients and lead to changes in the health system.

We are committed to involving members of the public in all stages of our work and the post holder will receive training and support to do so.

We also offer generic training opportunities for researchers seeking a career in applied health sciences. We engage with a wide range of stakeholders and policymakers to facilitate the translation of research into practice.

You will hold a PhD/DPhil in a relevant field or be about to obtain one in the next few months, possess a strong knowledge of qualitative analysis methods and have experience in collecting and analysing qualitative data, including interviews.

You will be able to demonstrate a proven ability to plan and manage your own work with strong research outputs commensurate with the stage of your career.

You will be based in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Radcliffe Primary Care Building, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG as your normal place of work.
