About the University of Dundee

Basic information and contact details for the University of Dundee

institution
The University of Dundee is a leading public teaching and research institution in Scotland, United Kingdom. The university can trace its roots back to 1881, when a wealthy local family donated money for a college to be built in the city. For many years after, Dundee had a partnership with the University of St Andrews, but gained independent university status in 1967. Today, the university has more than 14,000 full time undergraduate students and around 22 per cent of its total student body are international. More than 500 courses are taught at undergraduate and postgraduate level, ranging across sciences, business, arts and humanities, health, and law. Dundee’s main university campus is located in the west end of the city, within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Additional facilities are found at Ninewells Hospital, where the school of medicine is based as well as a research centre. The university’s student union has previously been voted the best in Scotland, and hosts a wide range of events and sports contests. Clubs and social clubs at the university cover a wide range of interests, from the political to the artsy. Sporting facilities include a gym, tennis courts and a 25 metre swimming pool. There are eight student accommodation halls on and off-campus, offering a range of shared living options. The city centre location means that students are within walking distance or a short bus journey from a range of amenities. The accommodation is in the heart of the action and an ensuite room is guaranteed for undergraduate offer holders, subject to terms and conditions.

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.
