About this role
Are you an experienced systematic reviewer professional who enjoys working collaboratively? We have an exciting opportunity to join us at the School of Medicine and Population Health. You will contribute to the activities of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) EnSygN- Sheffield Evidence Synthesis Group.
The primary purpose of the role is to lead and contribute to high-quality research projects, specifically focusing on systematic reviews that inform national health policy. The successful applicant will design research proposals, generate research income, and disseminate findings through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Additionally, the role involves teaching, supervision, and administrative duties to support the department and the wider University.
We are seeking candidates with a PhD in a relevant subject area or equivalent experience.
It is essential to have experience in leading substantial, high profile research projects for national government agencies where outputs directly influence national health policy as well as a proven track record in managing staff and acting as a mentor to less experienced researchers to support their methodological development.
The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.
We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.
