Full time, or part-time (up to 0.6 FTE) can be considered for a suitable candidate.
We provide an inclusive, creative research and training environment committed to open science and research integrity. We attract, retain, and develop a talented and diverse research workforce. Our teams are supported by a strong research and implementation infrastructure, integrated clinical partnerships, patient and public involvement, and (inter)national collaborations, in order to accelerate early adoption of best evidence into policy and practice, and of methodological innovation into research application. We seek to appoint a Research Fellow/ Clinical Research Fellow to play a central role in TRANSLATE (Translating evidence for Early Intervention in Psychosis in Low and Lower-Middle Countries LMICs: Implementation and Evaluation) programme of research newly funded as part of the NIHR Global Research Professorship award to Prof. Saeed Farooq. This is an exciting research opportunity for developing and evaluating a new model of care for early psychosis in resource constrained setting. The research programme involves establishing services in number of sites, follow up of participants for one year and evaluating the service using both quantitative and qualitative methods. A nested cohort will be used for developing and validating a prediction model for early recognition of treatment resistant psychosis. The successful candidate will lead the programme from conception to completion and will work directly under the supervision of Prof Saeed Farooq. You will be based at Keele University, School of Medicine, which incorporates research in mental and global health which is one of University's strategic research areas. You will work closely with early career researchers based at LMIC sites who will be implementing the early intervention in psychosis programme at sites in LMIC countries. You will have the opportunity to use your initiative and creativity to identify areas for research, develop research methods, and extend your research portfolio. You will have a PhD with an in-depth knowledge and experience in early intervention in psychosis. The understanding of healthcare systems and developing services in LMIC is desirable. Candidates without a PhD will be considered if they have completed clinical training in psychiatry with relevant experience in early intervention in psychosis or related fields and have in-depth knowledge of research methods demonstrated by publications and other research outputs. Ideally you will also have project development and management experience.
