Leeds Institute of Health Sciences are looking to recruit a part-time (50%) Research Assistant to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team on a study funded by the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. This study aims to develop and pilot a radiographer-led smoking cessation intervention in the lung cancer screening setting.

You will work closely with the local Principal Investigator and with London-based co-investigators. You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the study, site set-up and recruitment of participants, data collection, development and delivery of training, conducting and analysing interviews, and supporting the writing-up of research for publication.
