Department: Education & 69色情片

Salary: £46,485 to £55,295

This is an exciting opportunity to join the newly developed Bath Mental Health 69色情片 Group (MHRG) at the University of Bath. The MHRG is funded for an initial 5 years by the NIHR (National Institute for Health 69色情片). The focus of our work is applied research aimed at improving health and wellbeing of children and young people aged 12-25 in the local region. 

The Bath Mental Health 69色情片 Group has four main work packages/themes: 

1. Creating and testing simple and widely available support for common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. This includes using digital treatments. 
2. Improving understanding, awareness, and treatment for mental health difficulties in young people who have conditions such as autism and ADHD. 
3. Understanding how many of young people in the region have issues with smoking, drinking, and drug use, and developing new ways to help reduce the harm this may cause their mental health. 
4. Finding ways to help young people who have had difficult early experiences, to stop this leading to poor mental health when they get older. 

The successful applicants will work to specified projects but also draw on their unique skill set, with the opportunity to work across a range of work packages. The research of the MHRG involves quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches, including analysis of secondary data, designing and conducting new programmes of work, reporting and dissemination. Previous experience of research on the topic of children and young people’s mental health is desirable, but not essential as we primarily wish to recruit people with commitment and enthusiasm to the topic area, and relevant research skills. 

We have a clear commitment to skills training and career development for all research staff working in the MHRG. You will have the opportunity to work under the supervision of world-leading clinicians and academics.

Key areas include, but are not limited to:

Group 1

• Knowledge of social and healthcare systems and policies
• Digital interventions

Group 4

• Evidence synthesis (including identifying, reviewing, and summarising what is currently known about a particular question) including meta-analysis and qualitative synthesis methods
• Dissemination strategies including use of social media
• Skills in engaging with end users of research, including policy makers, regulatory bodies, clinical commissioners and other key stakeholders

We welcome applications from candidates with lived experience (either personal or as a loved one/family member) of the areas within our research remit including mental health difficulties, substance misuse, neurodiversity, and Looked After Children (LAC). We aim to make this an inclusive recruitment process. Interviews will be conducted online, and we will provide interview questions in advance. 

For an informal discussion of these roles please contact the Director of the MHRG (Dr. Pamela Jacobsen, pcj25@bath.ac.uk) or Deputy Director (Professor Ailsa Russell, ajr39@bath.ac.uk). Campus visits can be organised with sufficient advance notice.
