Research Fellow in Epidemiology (CASCADE Collaboration)

The appointment will be on UCL Grade 7.

The UCL Institute for Global Health (IGH) is at the heart of UCL’s Grand Challenge of Global Health, the Institutes vision is for a world where international policy on global health is informed by world class research.  The CASCADE collaboration is funded by a number of pharmaceutical companies. The project aims to explore viral and host characteristics, understand the experience and needs, and measure clinical and patient-reported outcomes, among individuals in Europe with newly-acquired HIV.  We are now seeking to appoint a Research Fellow in Epidemiology to work with the CASCADE collaboration.

This is an exciting opportunity to implement and oversee the project, taking a leading role within 2 of 4 work packages conducting analyses of pooled clinical and participant survey data from 9 European countries and Canada. The post holder is expected to liaise with project partners and colleagues working in all 4 (qualitative and quantitative) work packages and will also join the active research community of the Institute.  The post is available immediately until August 2024 in the first instance.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in epidemiology, medical statistics, public health (with a substantial quantitative component), or a related disciplinary area. Experience working in HIV, setting up and conducting research within the NHS, and working with European partners would be advantageous, as is the ability to speak more than one Western European language. The post holder should be comfortable working independently, analysing longitudinal data, and have some experience managing research projects.
