Early Stage Researcher, School of Biosciences and Medicine

School of Biosciences & Medicine

Location:      Guildford
Salary:      £27,300
Post Type:      Full Time
Closing Date:      Tuesday 04 June 2019

We are looking for an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) with a Master's degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. Social Sciences, Psychology, Public Administration, Health Economics, Health Services Research, Political Sciences, Health Policy and Management, Biostatistics, Clinical Epidemiology, Medicine, Information Sciences and Communication) and who is interested in combining qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Each candidate that is hired will be based at the premises of the principal investigator where they applied. The post will be based at the University of Oxford.

Applicants need to fully respect three eligibility criteria

Early-stage researchers (ESR) must, at the date of recruitment by the PI, be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained a master's degree which formally entitles them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the HealthPros research training is provided.

Conditions of international mobility of researchers: researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention are not taken into account.

English language: candidates must demonstrate that their ability to understand and express themselves in both written and spoken English is sufficiently high for them to derive the full benefit from the network training. Information about TOEFL can be found at https://www.ets.org/toefl.

Secondments

In HealthPros, each recruited researcher will be seconded to the organisations of two or more of the partners for a duration of several weeks/months up to 30% of his/her recruitment period. Normal practice during secondments is for the researchers to keep their contract with the sending organisation, which also pays the travel and subsistence expenses (e.g. accommodation). During their secondment, researchers receive supervision and training at the premises of the receiving organisation. Secondments are differentiated from short visits, i.e. of a few days. Secondments are mandatory. If you apply for one of the positions then you agree that you will be seconded to other organisations during your contract.

Contract, benefits and salary

The post will be based at the University of Oxford.

All positions comprise research and training to acquire a PhD.

The HealthPros position will run until the 31st December 2021.

The Marie Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA) programme offers competitive and attractive salary and working conditions. The successful candidates will receive a gross salary in accordance with the MSCA regulations for early stage researchers. Exact salary will be confirmed upon appointment [Living Allowance (37.320 euro/year * a correction factor to be applied per country) + Monthly mobility allowance (600 euro)]. A family allowance of €500 per month will be paid should the researcher have family, regardless of whether the family will move with the researcher or not.
