The successful candidate will work under the direction of Professor Theresa Marteau, collaborating with a distributed team of collaborating senior investigators and with postdoctoral researchers and students within the Behaviour and Health Research Unit.
The successful candidate will have a very good first degree relevant to the job description or equivalent experience, experience of conducting systematic reviews of public health or health care interventions (including meta-analysis and use of related software) and excellent systematic review workflow planning and management skills, as well as excellent verbal, written and interpersonal skills.
