You will have an undergraduate degree (2:1 or 1st) in a relevant area (medical sciences, biomedical science, experimental psychology), along with expertise in evidence synthesis projects, especially regarding the record selection process and data extraction for qualitative and quantitative outcomes, and expertise in assessing the risk of bias in relevant studies. Prior experience with large (international) evidence synthesis projects of human and non-human studies would be desirable as would fluency in a non-English language.

You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement and a CV as part of your application
