This post offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced and skilled qualitative researcher to join the School of Clinical Sciences Musculoskeletal Research Unit as part of the newly awarded 5-year NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). Working within the Surgical Innovation theme of the BRC, the post holder will be expected to develop and deliver high quality and rigorous research focused on the design of interventions that aim to improve outcomes after orthopaedic surgery, particularly in the context of surgery for people who have been living with long-term and painful conditions.
