Job description

The School of Nursing and Midwifery conducts world-class research leading to improvements in health and well-being in partnership with health professionals, leading charities, patients and carers.

We are committed to creating an environment in which everyone can reach their true potential and in which males and females have equality of opportunities for career development and learning. 

You will be an active member of the research team assisting in the development of research proposals and the planning and delivery of the research project about the Relationship and Sexuality Education needs of children and young adults with learning disabilities in special school settings so that the overall research objectives of the project/school are met.

This is a fixed term contract until 28 February 2021.

Queen's University Belfast is a driver of innovation based on our talented, multinational workforce. Throughout the University, our academics are collaborating across disciplines to develop new discoveries and insights, working with outside agencies and institutions on projects of international significance. We are connected and networked with strategic partnerships across the world, helping us to expand our impact on wider society locally, nationally and globally. The University is committed to attracting, retaining and developing the best global talent within an environment that enables them to realise their full potential.

We are a leader in gender equality and diversity, and are one of the UK's most successful universities in the Athena SWAN initiative which promotes gender equality and career progression. The School of Nursing and Midwifery is one of a very few Nursing and Midwifery Schools in the country to be awarded a Silver Athena SWAN Award, an accolade which we achieved in 2012 in recognition of good practice in recruiting, retaining and promoting women in Science and higher education. 

We are ranked 1st in the UK for knowledge transfer partnerships, (Innovate UK) 9th in the UK for University facilities (Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2018) and 14th in the UK for research quality (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019).

Based in Belfast, a modern capital city, our beautiful campus is surrounded by abundant acres of parkland and is renowned as one of the safest and affordable cities in the UK. The choice of local Schools from pre-nursery upwards are some of the best available, and lovers of the outdoors can enjoy any number of activities from rowing and kayaking to top class golf among many others. We are immensely proud of what our city and our University will offer you.

The successful candidate must have: 

  • Have or be about to obtain a relevant Doctorate degree.
  • At least 3 years relevant research experience. 
  • Direct research experience of a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods and data management and analysis approaches.
  • Direct experience of undertaking school-based research.
  • Experience of undertaking literature, policy and best practice guidance reviews, analysis and synthesis of findings. 
  • Writing project reports.
  • Evidence of publication in peer reviewed journals
