UE07: £41,064.00 - £48,882.00 Per Annum, Pro Rata.
College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine / School of Population Health Sciences / Usher Institute.
Contract type: Full time (35hrs per week) Part time hours considered (min 28hrs per week).
Fixed Term available from 1st January 2026 – 30th April 2027.
Location: Usher Institute, Edinburgh Bioquarter.
This post is advertised as full-time (35 hours per week), however, we will consider part-time or flexible working patterns (minimum of 28 hours / week).
We will also consider requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular (weekly) on-campus working. The Usher Institute expects a minimum of 40%* on campus working.
The Centre for Population Health Sciences at the Usher Institute within The University of Edinburgh is looking for an enthusiastic, qualitative researcher who has a background in social science research. The post holder will work on a Diabetes UK funded study which is seeking to understand what it is like for people to live with the knowledge of being at ‘high risk’ of developing type 1 diabetes following Islet autoantibody screening. The post holder will conduct and analyse in-depth interviews with adults, adolescents and parents of children who have tested positive for type 1 diabetes autoantibodies. We are particularly interested in exploring the social and ethical issues which may arise from type 1 diabetes autoantibody screening.
The Opportunity:
This is an excellent opportunity for a social scientist who wishes to develop or consolidate a career in health-related research. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant area (or equivalent experience). A willingness and ability to work flexible hours (e.g., evenings) is essential.
If you are interested in applying for this post, we strongly encourage you to contact Professor Julia Lawton (J.Lawton@ed.ac.uk) for an informal discussion in the first instance.
Your skills and attributes for success:
• A commitment to and enthusiasm for undertaking research on this topic
• A demonstrated ability to conduct and analyse in-depth interviews
• A demonstrated ability to publish in peer-reviewed academic journals
• A willingness to work collaboratively with the PI and other team members
• A willingness and ability to work flexibility (e.g., to do interviews in the evenings)
