Research Fellow (107381-0625)

About the Role

For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Raquel Nunes at Raquel.nunes@warwick.ac.uk and Professor Jeremy Dale (Jeremy.Dale@warwick.ac.uk).

The successful candidate must be available to start work by 1st September 2025. This is due to time constraints linked to the conclusion of the study, and timely appointment is essential to meet project deadlines.

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Fellow who will work on the GPNET-0 study (Implementation of decarbonisation actions in General Practice to help achieve a net zero NHS. A mixed methods study of institutional, organisational, professional, and patient factors), a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded project. The position is fixed-term for a period of 6 months.

Climate change poses an immediate, growing threat to health. Action is needed throughout healthcare to achieve a ‘Net Zero’ NHS and general practice is recognised as having a key role, not only in adapting how services are organised and delivered, but also by influencing society through its interactions with patients and the public. Several interventions are available to facilitate general practice decarbonisation, but little is known about how they are being implemented and how adoption can be facilitated further.

Led by Dr Raquel Nunes and co-led by Professor Jeremy Dale, this interdisciplinary project will contribute to a more rounded and in-depth understanding how general practices are implementing decarbonisation actions and generate actionable recommendations on how to support and accelerate the implementation and sustainability of such actions.

CLOSING DATE: Thursday, 26th June at 23:55 (BST).
