The role offers an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively with internationally acclaimed researchers within the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal and Perinatal Health and to engage with interprofessional colleagues and external partners to develop an excellent student experience and high quality research.
Depending on your grade, you will be qualified to Doctorate level or be able to demonstrate the ability to create and disseminate knowledge at an equivalent level and the capability to convert this knowledge into a doctorate in a maximum of 3-5 years from the date of appointment.
