The University community is made up of a wide range of people with diverse backgrounds and circumstances, which we value and regard as a great asset. As part of our continued commitment to equality and inclusion, we strive to create an environment where everyone can reach their full potential and have a real opportunity to participate in and contribute to our activities.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to further develop and test two promising behaviour change interventions on a newly funded Cancer Research UK project. The project will be conducted in collaboration with the NHS North East Bowel Screening Hub. The project will be conducted with colleagues from University of Leeds (Professor Daryl O'Connor, Professor Mark Conner and Dr Darren Greenwood) and the University of Glasgow (Professor Katie Robb).

You will act as the project manager for this randomised controlled trial and will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the research which will be based at Leeds University and will input into the design of the intervention.
