| Summary |
This is an exciting opportunity to make a
significant contribution to a successful, high-profile
research centre. King's Patient Safety and Service Quality
Research Centre (King's PSSQ) is one of two national PSSQ
centres, funded by the National Institute for Health Research.
The centres have been funded for a 5 year period from
2007-2012 (at £1million annually), and are intended to pilot
small scale “proof of concept” studies, applying theoretical
research on safety and quality in the health care environment.
If successful, such pilot projects will act as launch-pads for
larger scale grant applications for more substantial studies
to be carried out. The King's Patient Safety and Service
Quality Research Centre is a partnership between King's
College London and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation
Trust. There are four research programmes within the King's
PSSQ Centre – Risk, Innovations, Organisational Governance,
and Workforce. |
| Details |
The Research Fellow will be expected to lead the
following theme in the Innovations programme - Evaluation of
quality and safety of emerging innovative health technologies.
We are developing and piloting quality, safety and governance
frameworks for emerging health technologies, and examining the
implementation impact within the healthcare system. Both
topics draw on a range of theoretical and methodological
frameworks to develop hypotheses which can be tested in
practice using complex intervention evaluation frameworks and
methodologies.
The postholder will work independently
and will be working with a multidisciplinary research team in
delivering the project objectives. Applicants must have a PhD
and (ideally) research experience in relevant social science
or health science research, either in the health field or
elsewhere. An ability to work independently, to work to tight
deadlines and to work flexibly to meet the varied demands of
the role is required as well as excellent written and oral
communication. |
| Salary |
The salary will be between £39,974 and £47,253
per annum, inclusive of £2,323 London Allowance, depending on
experience. |
| Post duration |
The position is full-time and will be
a fixed term appointment until 31 March 2012. |
