We are looking to recruit an experienced qualitative post-doctoral researcher with an interest in ethnic inequalities in mental health. The researcher will join a friendly team of quantitative and qualitative researchers on an NIHR funded project to explore inequalities in antidepressant prescribing in primary care for the South Asian diaspora. Duties will include participant recruitment, data collection, keeping meticulous records of participant retention, working with our PPI and governance representatives, data analysis, writing for publication and event planning. The role will include recruiting from diverse communities. This is an exciting opportunity to work with community stakeholders, patients, and primary care professionals to embed change into care practices for those living with depression.
You should have completed your PhD in a related field, such as psychology or the social sciences. You should have experience of conducting and analysing qualitative research in community and/or NHS settings. Knowledge of data governance and research ethics is essential. The postholder will be required to build working relationships with community organisations and NHS sites in order to support data collection, therefore experience of working with diverse communities and/or speaking a South Asian language(s) in addition to English would be an advantage.
