The research element of this post will involve working with medical sociologists Moira Kelly and Clive Seale on studies of communication in health care settings, initially concerning diabetes care in the community, thereafter expanding into other settings (probably smoking cessation consultations). This work will involve collecting video and audio recordings of talk between health care providers and patients, then becoming involved in their detailed transcription and analysis. Some interviews with participants will be involved, and preparing the material for a data archive will also form part of this work. Other elements will involve teaching undergraduate medical students and postgraduate public health and primary care students, and providing advice to researchers in the NHS on the research design of projects for which they are applying for funding.

You will have good computer skills and be able to negotiate access to health care settings and work with health care providers and patients. You will need some experience of teaching in higher education, preferably to medical or other health care students and/or in social research methods, and are likely to have been involved in successful research funding applications.
