The successful candidate will work with Professor Mike Slade and co-PI Prof Claire Henderson (King’s College London) on the NIHR funded RECOLLECT 2 programme grant. Using a mixed-methods design, RECOLLECT 2 aims to understand how Recovery Colleges can provide the most benefit to people who use mental health services.

Candidates should have a first degree or equivalent in a relevant social science or health related discipline. The ideal candidate will have experience and knowledge of mental health research and have experience with qualitative and quantitative research methods. 

The position will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months, with the possibility of extension dependent on grant funding. Hours of work are full-time (36.25 hours per week), however job share arrangements may be considered.
