NIHR Funded Project on Ethnicity Data in Childhood Cancer
Hidden disparities: Understanding recording of ethnicity in healthcare data for children with cancer in England.
This role is ideal for someone who brings both quantitative and qualitative research skills, strong analytical/data science skills, experience working with children and young people and a genuine commitment to health equity. You will be part of a supportive and collaborative research team from across England with expertise in paediatric oncology, statistics, epidemiology and health psychology. Your work will have national impact - directly shaping how childhood cancer services record and use ethnicity data. The role offers an exceptional opportunity to develop your research portfolio and build networks that may support progression to a higher degree.
There will not be a clinical component attached to this role and candidates will be expected to obtain appropriate approval from their Training Programme Directors or equivalent.
