Full job description

Department of Health Sciences

The Department of Health Sciences is looking to appoint a highly motivated Research Associate or Research Fellow in the Mental Health and Addictions Research Group. This is a truly exciting opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team working on advancing research and practice related to dog-assisted interventions in primary school settings on one of the first UK-based projects of its kind.

The post holder will join a large and highly successful multi-disciplinary Department renowned for its methodological expertise and commitment to research with high impact on policy and practice.

Role

The research project will focus on the co-development of a dog-assisted intervention (including materials and training resources) to support the social, emotional and mental health of neurodivergent primary school children. It includes a small pilot and evaluation phase. The post holder will be supervised and supported comprehensively by the team.

The role may be appointed at grade 6 or grade 7.

Main duties at grade 6 will include:

conducting mixed-methods research (e.g., theory-focused desk-based research, an online survey and qualitative interviews),
leading the co-development of materials and resources for the new intervention with partners,
carrying out an early evaluation in the context of a small pilot study,
working with a variety of partners including academics, dog-assisted services providers, schools and third sector organisations and undertake tasks related to preparing the research, data collection and data analysis,
contributing to or leading on publications and other outputs from the research and be involved in dissemination activities.

Appointment at grade 7 may be available to an outstanding candidate who is already an experienced researcher and can evidence leadership of complex multidisciplinary projects, including co-production, development of research instruments (e.g., survey questionnaires) and evaluation. At grade 7, the post holder will project manage the study and lead on design and dissemination aspects.

Preferred start date of 01 October 2026.

Please indicate in your application which grade you would like to be considered for.
