Thanks to Expanding Excellence in England funding, the University of Bradford’s Centre for Digital Innovations in Health & Social Care is embarking on an exciting programme of rapid growth. We are seeking a dynamic and ambitious researcher to play a pivotal role in supporting the growth of the Centre. This is the first job to be advertised as part of this expansion, funded by the Faculty of Health Studies as part of its commitment to the Centre’s success.
Our Centre is multidisciplinary, undertaking high quality co-created applied research that (i) informs the design and implementation of new technologies in national and international health and care systems; and (ii) explores the impact of such technologies on patients, service users, carers, and health and social care professionals. Employing theory-driven approaches for design and evaluation, the Centre’s research offers an understanding of the contextual factors that impact the success of an innovation, informing both future technology design and its implementation. Research in the Centre is mixed method, combining qualitative data that delivers deep insight with the quantitative data that caters to the needs of policymakers.
This is a three-year tenure track position. In years 1 and 2, the post holder will be expected to develop their own programme of research related to the design and evaluation of technologies that have the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the health and social care system. In year 3, they will have additional responsibilities related to teaching and administration. Subject to meeting defined objectives, at the end of the three years, they will be transferred to an indefinite contract as an Assistant Professor (with the option to apply for promotion to Associate Professor at the same time). You will have a PhD in a subject area relating to health informatics. You will also have experience of contributing to the design and/or evaluation of digital innovations in health or social care.
Shortlisting will be undertaken blind and based on the information entered in the application. If shortlisted, you will be contacted and requested to provide a CV.
We are willing to consider job share for this position.
