You will have a recent undergraduate or postgraduate degree (BSc, MSc, or similar) in health psychology, psychology, psychological research methods, sociology, or life sciences.

You must have eligibility to work in the UK.
How you fit in
You will join a dynamic team of researchers with a passion for excellence in research and client service. You will have a genuine interest in understanding, evaluating, and communicating the patient perspective. You will have the opportunity to learn about many different diseases, health conditions and to develop your skills in a range of different research methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research.
You will be involved in studies focused on the selection, development, and psychometric validation, of patient-reported outcomes and other clinical outcome assessments (COAs). You will be involved in a range of research activities including conducting literature reviews, developing study protocols (both qualitative and quantitative), developing statistical analyses plans, preparing study documentation for ethical review (both UK and international), recruitment of study participants, interviewing of participants, data analysis, the reporting of study findings, and writing conference abstracts/posters and journal manuscripts. You will be involved in multiple projects at any one time so good communication and organisational skills are essential for this role.
