Job Overview
We are seeking a Senior Research Fellow with strong project management and quantitative research skills to lead the setup, coordination, and management of our NIHR-funded 'Healthy Homes' project within the Population Health Improvement (PHI-UK) Healthy Urban Places consortium.
About Born in Bradford
Born in Bradford (BiB) is an internationally recognized applied research programme dedicated to improving health and wellbeing through developing and evaluating health interventions and translating research into practice (www.borninbradford.nhs.uk).
Project Description
The BiB Healthy Homes project will assess the impact of retrofitting social housing in Bradford on indoor conditions, air quality, resident health, and economic outcomes. Housing contributes significantly to UK carbon emissions and is linked to various health issues. Retrofitting can improve warmth and reduce heating costs, especially for low-income groups, while also reducing emissions. The project will monitor indoor environments in over 400 social homes for 18 months, utilizing routine health and housing data, building modelling, health economic analyses, and qualitative research to explore these impacts.
Main Duties
* Coordinate and manage the 'Healthy Homes' project, ensuring effective implementation within the consortium.
* Collaborate with social housing providers and academic partners to evaluate indoor environments, health, and economic outcomes of retrofitting interventions.
* Analyze trade-offs in indoor conditions, unintended consequences, and contextual factors affecting implementation and resident experience.
* Contribute to research dissemination and policy recommendations based on findings.
Team and Collaboration
The post is based at the Bradford Institute for Health Research within the Born in Bradford team. The Senior Research Fellow will report to the co-Principal Investigators (Prof McEachan and Dr Yang) and collaborate with partners at the University of Leeds, University of York, University College London, University of Manchester, and University of Cambridge.
