Research Assistant (Part-time 0.8 FTE)
We are seeking a part-time (0.8 FTE) Research Assistant to join our vibrant research group. The post holder will contribute to the delivery of an exciting research programme to evaluate a walking exercise behaviour change intervention for people with peripheral arterial disease (MOSAIC2). The Research Assistant will complete a PhD (home fees funded), embedded in the MOSAIC2 research programme, that will explore the delivery of home-based exercise interventions by non-traditional healthcare professionals (e.g., healthcare assistants). We particularly welcome applications from registered nurses or allied health professionals who are committed to completing a PhD. This post represents an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to maintain a part-time (0.2 FTE) clinical role whilst also developing their research skills.
