The £35m UKRI research programme in Adolescence, Mental Health and the Developing Mind (AMHDM), is an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to better understand the developing adolescent mind, accelerate innovation in policy and practice, and generate evidence-based solutions for changing models of mental health provision and the education environment for adolescents.
Adolescence is a critical, poorly understood period in the life course, when the brain is highly sensitive to external influences, and a young person’s interaction with his/her social and cultural environment is also changing rapidly in the transition to adulthood. This programme has been established to help provide a better understanding of how genetic, physiological, psychological, social and cultural factors across development shape the adolescent mind, and how they interact to influence, both positively and negatively, lifelong mental health, educational attainment, identity, social relationships and behaviour.
About the Role
As Programme Director, you would drive the programme forward and specifically lead the latter stage community building and stakeholder engagement aspects of the programme to ensure that research evidence is translated into policy and practice. You will also explore options for longer term sustainability of the programme or elements within it. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated individual to ensure its successful implementation and maximise the delivery of research excellence and real-world impact.
You will need:
If successful in this role, you will remain an employed by your current contractual organisation, and your time at UKRI will be on a secondment basis. At the point of offer a tripartite agreement will be created to reflect the terms of the secondment.
