Post-Doctoral Research Associate
This is an externally funded Post-Doctoral Research Associate position supporting the Allied Health Professions Workforce Research Partnership, a five-year programme funded by the NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research programme.
About the Role
The partnership brings together six universities across three regional hubs - South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the East of England - to undertake research that will contribute to the development of a sustainable and effective Allied Health Professions (AHP) workforce, with a particular focus on rural and coastal communities and deprived urban areas.
The post will support the delivery of the second phase of the research programme, working collaboratively with researchers, NHS partners and universities across the partnership. The successful applicant will join the University of Lincoln team within the School of Health and Care Sciences and the Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health (LIRCH). LIRCH is the UK's first integrated multidisciplinary research institute dedicated to rural and coastal health and is undergoing significant expansion following a £10.9 million award from Research England's Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund.
