Research Assistant

We have an opportunity for a Research Assistant to contribute to the The Feasibility of Therapeutic Assessment and Neuro-Divergence Assessment (TANDA) project, working with Dr. Jason Lang, Dr. Helen Smith, and Ms. Annemarie MacRae, with support from Professor Dennis Ougrin and colleagues in NHS Ayrshire & Arran.

This is an exciting feasibility study investigating the integration of Therapeutic Assessment (TA) with rapid neurodevelopmental assessment tools (ESSENCE-D and NEURO-Obs) within crisis care for children and young people (CYP) who present following self-harm or suicidal ideation. The project aims to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and implementation of this innovative model of integrated care within NHS services.

You will assist in all aspects of the study, including participant recruitment and follow-up, data collection (quantitative and qualitative), liaison with clinical teams, and analysis of findings. The role will also involve supporting ethics and governance processes, qualitative interviewing with young people, parents, and clinicians, and contributing to dissemination through reports, presentations, and publications.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr. Jason Lang via email: Jason.Lang@glasgow.ac.uk

This post is part time (24.5 hours per week, 0.7 FTE) and has funding for up to 12 months from start date.
