This is an exciting opportunity to obtain training and experience working within the Test Evaluation Research Group (TERG) based within the Institute of Applied Health Research. TERG is directed by Professor Jon Deeks, and has an international
portfolio of work including primary research evaluating medical tests (including NIHR HTA/EME studies), leading the Cochrane Collaboration’s test evaluation activity, producing systematic reviews and undertaking methodological work.
NIHR Systematic Review Fellowships form part of the NIHR Research Methods Programme, the purpose of which is to:
·
Attract to the NIHR the most talented individuals, especially those who are not currently working in a health-related field;
·
Provide these individuals with the necessary support and training to become specialist methodologists in areas relevant to the NIHR; and
·
Expand their research interests into areas relevant to the NIHR
This NIHR Systematic Review Fellowship is aimed at individuals interested in developing a career as a systematic reviewer/methodologist in medical test evaluation. The Fellow will undertake a 2-year (or 3-year part time) structured training
programme and will work on a number of applied health and methodology projects related to the evaluation of medical tests. The Fellowship will provide opportunity for formal training, either relevant short courses or a relevant postgraduate course e.g. Master
of Public Health or MSc in Medical Statistics (home/EU rate fees will be covered), according to the Fellow’s training needs. If the Fellow wishes to pursue a PhD, we will support the Fellow’s application for an NIHR Doctoral Research Fellowship.
