The Research Fellow will collaborate as an enthusiastic and effective team member, contributing to the development of the CMHW and the wider contexts of the Epidemiology Group and Aberdeen Centre for Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health. They will provide sustained and active support for departmental research and engage in some general academic, administration and research support duties.
