Research Fellow (109487-0824)

Location: University of Warwick Campus, Coventry

Duration: Ending 31 December 2026

About the Role

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Beck Taylor (Associate Clinical Professor) at beck.taylor@warwick.ac.uk.

You will be a key member of the new National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Reproductive Health Policy Research Unit (RHPRU). Led by UCL, the RHPRU is a multi-partner collaboration involving the Universities of Warwick, Oxford, Birmingham, LSHTM and Hywel Dda University Health Board.

The RHPRU is a £3 million research investment over 3 years whose purpose is to produce high quality research evidence to inform policy about health, care and public health systems for reproductive health in England. We work closely with the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) and other government departments, as part of the NIHR Policy Research Programme. A major aspect of our work will be responding flexibly to policy priorities and queries from DHSC as they arise.

You will be a core member of our team, tasked with conducting policy-related research in reproductive health, according to an agreed programme of research within specified priority areas. You will assist the Co-Directors, the project leads and Theme leads in all aspects of research, from design to delivery, in carrying out the research programme of the RHPRU. This will include one of our first projects, a mixed methods evaluation to explore how health and social care organisations are working to plan and deliver women’s reproductive health care since the publication of the 2022 Women’s Health Strategy, led by Dr Beck Taylor (Warwick) and Professor Judith Stephenson UCL).

You will work on your own initiative and as part of a team required to carry out the research programme on time and within budget.  There will also be opportunities to develop and lead projects of personal interest in line with the RHPRU research programme.

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
