Job Details

Modern slavery is one of the major human rights issues of our time.  After escape, many survivors report post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, but little is known about what helps survivors to recover.  This three-year post-doctoral position provides an exciting opportunity to investigate the effectiveness of advocacy interventions in improving the mental health and wellbeing of survivors of modern slavery.   The study is funded by NIHR and comprises a cohort study of survivors of modern slavery and a mixed methods realist evaluation.

The post-holder will have experience of conducting survey and/or qualitative research with people who have experienced violence and abuse. They will have excellent communication skills, meticulous attention to detail and the strategic and operational management skills required to ensure the successful planning and execution of the project. Previous experience in research management and coordination is desirable, and willingness to travel within England is required.

This post will be offered on fixed term contract for up to 36 months or until 31 October 2022

This is a full-time post.

The selection process will include a panel interview and presentation.

 

Company

King's College London is one of the top 20 universities in the world and among the oldest in England. King's has more than 27,600 students (of whom nearly 10,500 are graduate students) from some 150 countries worldwide, and some 6,800 staff.

King's has an outstanding reputation for world-class teaching and cutting-edge research. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) King’s was ranked 6th nationally in the ‘power’ ranking, which takes into account both the quality and quantity of research activity, and 7th for quality according to Times Higher Education rankings. Eighty-four per cent of research at King’s was deemed ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (3* and 4*). The university is in the top seven UK universities for research earnings and has an overall annual income of more than £684 million.

King's has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and social sciences including international affairs. It has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA and research that led to the development of radio, television, mobile phones and radar.
