Research Associate

This is an exciting opportunity for a social science researcher to join a new inter-disciplinary team of 14 staff and students, working across 6 universities, on the past, present and future of endemic livestock disease in Britain. The post is part of the Wellcome Trust-funded project ‘Thinking forward through the past: Linking science, social science and the humanities to inform the sustainable reduction of endemic disease in British livestock farming’. Experts in history, geography, rural sociology, economics and epidemiology are coming together in this 4-year project to study the inter-connected past, present and future of two exemplar endemic livestock diseases: Bovine Viral Diarrhoea, and lameness in cattle and sheep. Working within and across disciplinary clusters, we aim to develop innovative methods, and new disciplinary and inter-disciplinary insights that will advance scholarship, and have a lasting impact on animal welfare and disease control policy and practice. The post holder will be based in the Geography Subject Area, School of Environmental Sciences, and be supervised by Dr. Lewis Holloway.

The post holder will be a social scientist with expertise in qualitative research methods. S/he will be responsible for arranging and conducting interviews, ethnography and focus groups with farmers, consumers and farm advisers. The research project is underpinned by an innovative and highly interactive public engagement programme which is fully integrated into the research. 

The proposed start date is 1st September 2018 and will last for 48 months.

Interviews are likely to be held in late June or early July 2018.

Research Fellow (Information Specialist)

This post is part of the ‘TRANSFORMing Cancer Outcomes in Yorkshire - funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research’ programme.

This post is fixed term for 3 years.

Cancer outcomes are poorer in Yorkshire than in England as a whole, and are especially poor in Hull. People with higher socioeconomic status have substantially better health than those with lower socioeconomic status; this is also true in relation to cancer outcomes. Yorkshire Cancer Research (YCR) has awarded the University of Hull a £4.9m programme of research to tackle these cancer inequalities. We aim to address key gaps in knowledge related to inequalities in experience of and outcomes from cancer, especially related to age and socio-economic differences, in the following areas: early diagnosis and detection, patient management, survivorship and palliative care.

This role is part of this investment, and is a cross-cutting post for an enthusiastic, self-motivated Information Specialist to work with clinical and applied health researchers to take forward the work of the TRANSFORMing Cancer Outcomes in Yorkshire programme. 

To discuss this role informally, please contact Dr Liz Mitchell, Senior Lecturer in Primary Care Research; liz.mitchell@hyms.ac.uk, 01482 467537

Yorkshire Cancer Research Career Development Fellowship

There are 3 posts available, all of which will be part of the ‘TRANSFORMing Cancer Outcomes in Yorkshire - funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research’ programme.

This post is fixed term for 5 years.

Cancer outcomes are poorer in Yorkshire than in England as a whole and especially poor in Hull. People with higher socioeconomic status have substantially better health than those with lower socioeconomic status; this is also true of cancer outcomes. Yorkshire Cancer Research has awarded the University of Hull a £4.9m programme of research to tackle these cancer inequalities. As a result of this investment we are seeking to recruit five applied health scientists as career development fellows to take forward applied cancer research. These prestigious fellowships will address key gaps in knowledge related to inequalities in experience of and outcomes from cancer, especially related to age and socio-economic differences in the following three areas: early diagnosis and detection, patient management, survivorship and palliative care. 

Each of these fellowships will be accompanied by an attractive package to support research and personal development and the expectation is that the postholders will use these fellowships to establish themselves as independent applied heath researchers with expertise in cancer and outcomes and /or care. 

The University of Hull has ambitious plans for research growth to become a world leader in applied health and clinical research, and to conduct outstanding research of relevance to our local area. This vision is being enabled by a £28m investment by the University in a new Health Campus development and the establishment of an Institute for Clinical and Applied Health Research (ICAHR), dovetailing with the Yorkshire Cancer Research award. The formation of the Institute is supported by a major investment in academic staff and the establishment of strong methods and support infrastructure. The Yorkshire Cancer Research Career Development Fellows will be based in this new Institute, either within the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) or the School of Health and Social Work (SHSW) depending on the best fit of the Fellow. Both are Schools within the Faculty of Health Sciences, which also includes the School of Life Sciences. It will be based within the new Allam Medical Building which opened in Summer 2017.

Yorkshire Cancer Research has awarded the University of Hull a £4.9m programme of research to tackle these cancer inequalities. As a result of this investment we are seeking to recruit a senior researcher to lead this programme of research.

The appointed Fellow will oversee this programme which will include four Career Development Fellows (at Band 8), while establishing themselves as a leader in applied cancer research.
