Research Fellow: Mapping current funding in young people’s cancer research against the Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Priority Setting Partnership priorities The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee. Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference. The role Applications are invited for a Research Fellow position to work part-time on on a project funded by The Children and Young People’s Cancer Association (CCLG): Mapping current funding in young people’s cancer research against the Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Priority Setting Partnership priorities. The successful post holder will be based in the School of Health Sciences, working with Susie Aldiss and Professor Faith Gibson. The James Lind Alliance Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) research priorities were published in 2018 (final report available from: https://www.jla.nihr.ac.uk/priority-setting-partnerships/teenage-and-young-adult-cancer. The aim of this PSP was to identify the research questions that need to be answered about teenage and young adult cancer, according to young people, survivors, families/carers and professionals. Our focus in this current project is on the Top 30 priorities from this PSP (https://www.jla.nihr.ac.uk/priority-setting-partnerships/teenage-and-young-adult-cancer#tab-the-top-10-priorities).  In this project, we will undertake an information gathering exercise to establish which of the 30 priorities are currently priorities for funding and/or being funded. This will involve liaising with funders of cancer research in the UK to collect their funding strategies and information on projects funded in the past five years. This will help funders to see where the gaps in funding are, avoid duplication and enable possible collaborations to ensure that all the priorities receive attention as these are the areas of research that young people, survivors, families/carers and professionals have identified as important. About you We are looking for a researcher with excellent project management and research skills, together with excellent verbal and written communication skills, who can work independently, but also work well within a team environment. The successful candidate will be required to coordinate and undertake activities including: liaising with research funders, leading on data collection and data management, analysis of data involving matching funding strategies and funded studies to the Top 30 priorities, dissemination of findings including report writing, preparing a journal publication and feedback to funders. We have already started to gather the data from the funders. Studies have shown that women and other minoritised groups are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single criteria. In the School of Health Sciences, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you are excited about this role but your experience does not align perfectly with what is stated, we encourage you to contact us to discuss. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. The post is a fixed-term post (4.5 months, 0.5 FTE). The majority of work for this project could be undertaken remotely if the post holder wishes.
