Research Fellow at University of Leeds

Are you an ambitious qualitative researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities?

This is an exciting opportunity for a post-doc researcher to join a thriving applied health research team with a commitment to supporting and developing its members. The Leeds Institute of Clinical Trials Research (LICTR) is looking to appoint a highly motivated Research Fellow to work for 18 months (0.5FTE) on a National Institute for Health Research (Research for Patient Benefit) funded study: “Improving recovery after bowel cancer surgery: Mixed-method feasibility study of a co-produced education intervention (RecoverTogether)”. 

RecoverTogether is a co-produced complex intervention which aims to support patient recovery following bowel surgery. This study will assess its acceptability and feasibility of delivery in three hospitals.  Using information from diaries, ward observations, interviews, and focus groups, and working closely with our Patient and Public Advisory Group, you will help us discover whether the resource is feasible in NHS practice, how it is used, and whether it is acceptable to patients and staff.

What we offer in return

• 25 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s over 40 days a year!
• Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
• Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team, and self-development courses including languages, Creative Writing, Wellbeing Therapies and much more.
• Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.

And much more!  

 If you are looking for a role that enables you to utilise your qualitative research skills and want to be part of a team that aims to change clinical practice for the better, apply today.

 This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
