We are offering an exciting opportunity to work on a funded research project helping to develop more accessible anxiety measures in stroke. The successful candidate will travel to stroke rehabilitation wards in the region and support data collection by administering a series of mental health questionnaires to stroke survivors. They will work with patients who may have varying needs and difficulties, such as communication problems and mental health difficulties. The appointee will also support consent-taking and assessing capacity if required.
This post is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in completing a PhD and pursuing an academic career. There will be opportunities to develop research skills, receive research mentoring, and access to research networks for early career researchers. There are also publication opportunities. This post is also a great opportunity for someone looking to build their clinical experience in a population with neurological conditions, and for those wishing to develop competencies in capacity and psychological assessment.
