We wish to appoint a Research Associate with expertise in qualitative and mixed-methods health services research to join the primary care and health workforce research team at The University of Manchester. The successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of PROSPER-GP: learning from PRactice and individual Outcomes to Support general Practitioner Enhanced Retention, an NIHR-funded programme of research led by Dr Laura Jefferson.
PROSPER-GP is a six-year programme that will identify how we can best support general practitioners (GPs) to have satisfying careers and remain in their roles for longer. A Key component of this research is the delivery of qualitative case studies in GP practices, learning from practices that do well in retaining GPs to develop policy recommendations and organisational strategies. The Research Associate will also support stakeholder engagement activities (including with GPs, patients and policymakers), and the co-production and dissemination of findings.
The Research Associate will work closely with Dr Laura Jefferson and the wider research team, supporting qualitative data collection and analysis. Using observational, interview and focus group methods, travel to general practice settings across England will be required.
This role offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to high-impact, policy-relevant research addressing one of the most pressing challenges facing the NHS, while developing skills in applied qualitative and mixed-methods research, stakeholder engagement, and knowledge mobilisation.
