We are looking for an exceptional systematic reviewer to join our ambitious and rapidly expanding Warwick Screening team. This is a rare opportunity to work closely with National Policy makers and have an international influence on how screening is delivered while being fully supported to accelerate your academic career through fellowships and development opportunities. In this permanent position, you will play a pivotal role in health screening, reviewing the research underpinning policy making decisions as well as teaching future health screening academics and professionals. 

Within this dual research and teaching role, you will lead reviews including conducting and publishing evidence maps, rapid reviews and systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness, test accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. This work will directly inform the UK National Screening Committee and national screening policy.

The successful candidate will be responsible for expanding the current teaching programme of Warwick Screening. This may involve but is not restricted to: creating an online version of the existing Health Screening module, expanding the module for an international audience and creating resources for professionals working within industry.

You will have opportunities to expand your skills by working collaboratively with team members across multiple projects and will be expected to contribute to grant applications and publications. You will grow rapidly into an independent researcher within Warwick Screening – supported every step of the way.

About You  

We are seeking someone with an excellent first degree and a PhD in a relevant field, along with postdoctoral experience undertaking multiple systematic reviews —ideally within health screening or health policy. You will bring strong leadership skills and the ability to thrive both independently and collaboratively. You will be methodical and confident navigating tight timelines, supporting colleagues, and contributing to world leading screening research. Above all, you will be a strong communicator, highly organised, motivated, and ready to lead upwards when needed.
