This is an exciting time to move to the Centre for Applied Dementia Studies (CfADS) and the Faculty of Health Studies within the University of Bradford as we grow and develop our programmes of work in healthy ageing and dementia. We are seeking two permanent posts at Lecturer or Assistant Professor level (depending on experience) to support our activity. 

The CfADS is one of the UK's leading centres for psychosocial research into living well with, and caring well for, people with dementia and their families as well as that of healthy ageing. Working alongside our partners in the Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Research, we deliver three elements of work: education, training and consultancy and, applied research. We deliver post-graduate teaching in Advanced Dementia Studies, work alongside a range of national and international stakeholders in implementing training and consultancy and, have been awarded local and national research contracts, funded PhD studentships and post-doctoral positions. 

You will work across all areas of the CfADS being supported to deliver our internationally and nationally recognised post-graduate education, training and consultancy as well as implementation and dissemination of our ground-breaking research. While you will take responsibility for at least one module, you will be supported to do this by first shadowing our existing staff. We have a range of research to which you will contribute (dependent on your interests and expertise). In addition, you will be supported to develop your own research programmes.

Applications are invited from those who have expertise across health and care including e.g., policy, psychology, economics, sociology. Most importantly, you will have a passion for making a difference in healthy ageing and dementia across systems, practice, patients/ users, unpaid carers and their wider supporters. 

Informal enquiries prior to application can be made to Professor Karen Windle, acting Director of the CfADS at k.windle@bradford.ac.uk.
