Research Associate (Photodermatoses Programme)
This is an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to work within the Photodermatoses Programme of the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre to explore psychological aspects of photosensitivity disorders. These conditions affect high proportions of the UK population, the severe forms preventing the outdoor activities of normal life, and impacting on family, psychosocial health and employment. Their impacts and underlying mechanisms require a better understanding, in order to develop more targeted and effective treatments, and strategies are required to optimise patients’ photoprotective measures.
The post-holder will use mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, including individual interviews and focus groups, to examine patient perception of the patient and clinician/therapist partnership, with a view to making improvements that assist the long-term self-management of photoprotective measures in photodermatoses patients.
Applicants must have a first degree and PhD in psychology or related subject with experience of human volunteer studies and in evaluating patient perception and self-management. Experience as a healthcare professional and of dermatology research is desirable. You will be enthusiastic and highly motivated with excellent organisational and communication skills.
