Communications Assistant

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with experience in website, social media and admin support to join an exciting multidisciplinary team of researchers. 

About You

This role has been created to support the development and maintenance of the ARREST-AMR website and social media presence, alongside providing administrative support for network activities including meetings, workshops and stakeholder engagement. The postholder will play an important role in strengthening communication across the network and ensuring that its research and innovation activities are visible to a broad range of audiences, including researchers, clinicians, policymakers and the public.

About the Department

The Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI) aims to improve health through data-driven medicine. PHURI’s multidisciplinary teams will address interconnected research themes including Omics Science; Imaging, and Therapeutic Innovation - transcending the existing boundaries between disciplines. 

These themes will come together to create a complete journey from disease identification, through to translation with the development of therapies, devices or clinical intervention to ensure we improve disease prediction, personalisation of treatment and disease management and prevention to improve patient outcomes. This integrated approach is a distinguishing feature of PHURI in which we use our linked health and molecular patient data to develop innovative technologies that will transform existing care pathways.

ARREST‑AMR (Accurate, Rapid, Robust and Economical One Health Diagnostics for Antimicrobial Resistance) is a UK-wide, transdisciplinary research network funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and managed by the BBSRC. The network focuses specifically on improving diagnostics for antimicrobial resistance within a “One Health” framework, recognising that human health, animal health, agriculture and the environment are interconnected. The network brings together scientists, clinicians, engineers, veterinarians, social scientists, policymakers and industry partners to develop new diagnostic technologies that can rapidly detect infections and determine whether antimicrobial treatment is appropriate.
