Who are we?
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funds, enables and delivers world-leading health and social care research that improves people's health and wellbeing and promotes economic growth. Our research helps turn discoveries into new or improved treatments, diagnostics, medical technologies, and services.
The NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) is a national initiative providing access to research support, advice, design, and collaboration, from planning through to delivery for researchers working across the remit of NIHR in England. Our Hub has also been designated as an NIHR RSS Specialist Centre in Public Health.
Our Hub is a collaboration between partner organisations making up a team of highly experienced methodologists, researchers, and public health practitioners. The team includes research advisors with expertise in medical statistics, clinical trials, epidemiology, qualitative research, mixed methods, health economics, and public involvement in research.
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking a Senior Research Advisor with the ability to provide high-quality research design advice and support to investigators applying for research funding (particularly NIHR). You may have expertise in any area of applied medical statistics/epidemiology. You will possess excellent communication and consultation skills and an understanding of what is required to produce a high-quality research funding application and to deliver the statistical/epidemiological aspects of an applied research study.
