Research Associate or Fellow (Fixed Term for up to 9 Months)

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

We are now looking for an exceptional individual to join us as a post-doctoral Research Associate or Fellow on a full-time basis, for a fixed term of up to 9 months.

Based in the School of Psychology, you will work with project lead, Dr Darren Chadwick, to undertake the newly funded and multi-site research project, the NIHR Digital Health Participation Project. This study aims to better understand and enhance the digital inclusion and health and wellbeing of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

You will be educated to PhD/Doctoral level (or close to completing) in a relevant discipline with the ability to take a lead role in research projects. Knowledge of issues relating to the equity and inclusion, digital inclusion, and/or the health and wellbeing of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities is essential.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join LJMU in our bicentenary year and with the launch of our new strategic plan.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

Informal inquiries may be made to Dr Darren Chadwick, d.d.chadwick@ljmu.ac.uk.

LJMU values diversity and provides a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can fulfil their potential.
