Do you have a background in Health Psychology? Are you interested in testing the effectiveness of a behaviour change intervention to increase bowel cancer screening uptake? 

 

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to further develop and test two promising behaviour change interventions on a newly funded Cancer Research UK project. The project will be conducted in collaboration with the NHS North East Bowel Screening Hub. The project will be conducted with colleagues from University of Leeds (Professor Daryl O’Connor, Professor Mark Conner and Dr Darren Greenwood) and the University of Glasgow (Professor Katie Robb).  

 

You will act as the project manager for this randomised controlled trial and will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the research which will be based at Leeds University and will input into the design of the intervention. 

 

What we offer in return 

• 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – that’s 42 days a year! 

• Generous pension scheme plus life assurance– the University contributes 14.5% of salary 

• 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 more. 

• Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available. 

And much more!
