Research Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Research Assistant to contribute to the CSO-funded Addressing Barriers to School non-Attendance to Improve Long-term outcomes (ABSAIL) project.

The ABSAIL project aims to explore emotionally based school non-attendance within the Scottish context with the aim of improving health outcomes for affected young people.

The postholder will work with Dr. Jo Inchley and other project staff within the Mental Health and Wellbeing Group in the School of Health & Wellbeing and will be responsible for day-to-day delivery of the project including liaising with schools and other stakeholders, data collection and analyses, planning and delivery of co-design workshops, report writing and dissemination activities.

The post would suit those with a particular interest in adolescent mental health and/or neurodiversity, along with skills in qualitative research, public engagement and creative dissemination.

Experience of conducting research with young people and/or in a school setting would be an advantage. The successful candidate will provide support to the wider research team and will be expected to contribute to research publications and other outputs.

This position is full time and fixed term until June 2026. A part-time position (0.8FTE) may be considered.
