We will consider applications from researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests including areas such as epidemiology, health policy, economics, geography, biostatistics, bioinformatics or equivalent. Candidates should have in-depth quantitative research methods and several high-quality publications as a first author. This post is part of a major strategic investment by the University of Lincoln in developing its Global Health and Rural Health portfolio. With the appointment of Prof Frank Tanser, as a Global Professor of Rural Health, the University of Lincoln aims to develop solutions to the most pressing health issues facing rural populations worldwide. In this research area, the university is developing research projects in the UK, South Africa, Malaysia, Burkina Faso and Australia. The incumbents will have exposure to a diverse portfolio of research including studies evaluating hospital-based and community-based interventions, service design and delivery, and health technologies. The health issues investigated encompass both communicable and non-communicable diseases. These include (but are not limited to) HIV, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections as well as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and COPD. The incumbents will be part of an outstanding multi-disciplinary team of statisticians, epidemiologists, mathematical modellers, social scientists, clinical trialists, bioinformaticians and other experts. The projects will utilise state of the art methods in big data analytics, next generation viral gene sequencing, spatial analysis as well as cutting-edge methods in the design of Mhealth interventions. The incumbent will be expected to make a significant contribution towards establishing the university as an international centre of excellence in Rural Health, evidenced through an increased research portfolio and publications in high-quality journals. The post holder will receive a generous salary and be afforded numerous opportunities and support to further develop their own independent research careers through travel opportunities and the attainment of fellowship funding.
