The post

The Department of Health and Community Science wishes to recruit either a Senior Research Fellow or Postdoctoral Research Fellow who is a physiotherapist, nurse or healthcare professional to the Getting Recovery Right After Neck Dissection for Head and Neck Cancer (GRRAND) study, a National Institute of Health Research funded randomised controlled clinical trial. The aim is to evaluate clinical and cost-effectiveness of a personalised, physiotherapy-led, rehabilitation intervention (the GRRAND programme) compared to best practice NHS, post-discharge care for adults undergoing neck dissection for head and neck cancer. This post is available from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2027. The successful applicant will inform, design and refine session Clinical Report Forms and patient-facing materials; provide physiotherapists training and evaluate training experiences; monitor fidelity of delivery for intervention and control sessions, provide feedback and additional training if required; evaluate GRRAND delivery (by physiotherapists) and engagement and uptake (by patients) to inform what works for whom and in what contexts.

About you

Applicants will possess a relevant PhD or equivalent qualification/experience in a related field of study. They will have relevant clinical experience and ideally possess in-depth understanding of musculoskeletal and/or surgical rehabilitation. The successful applicant will be able to work collaboratively with Professor Sarah Dean and the wider GRRAND research team to apply their qualitative and quantitative research skills and clinical experience in the evaluation of a complex exercise-based rehabilitation intervention.

Postdoctoral Research Fellows will supervise the work of others (e.g. students); support or lead the planning and delivery of stakeholder/workshop events; conduct data collection and conduct robust data analysis and have excellent writing skills.

In addition to the above Senior Research Fellows will be a nationally recognised authority in rehabilitation and ideally possess in-depth understanding of musculoskeletal and/or surgical rehabilitation to develop new knowledge and understanding within the field. They will provide academic leadership to research teams, lead and develop internal/external networks and link with external contacts to foster collaboration and generate income.
