Cardiff University
Cardiff Institute of Society, Health and Ethics
Four Research Posts

The Cardiff Institute of Society, Health and Ethics (CISHE) is a new
collaborative venture between Cardiff University (Social Sciences and
Law) and the University of Wales College of Medicine (General Practice).
CISHE conducts and co-ordinates methodologically innovative
multidisciplinary research, with a strong contribution from the social
sciences and within the related domains of biomedicine, health services,
public health and bioethics. We undertake and facilitate research of
international excellence, placing emphasis on tackling health
inequalities and ensuring that our research has an impact on policy and
practice in Wales and beyond. The four posts advertised will play an
important part in developing and sustaining the work programme of the
Institute (see www.cf.ac.uk/socsi/cishe). For an informal discussion
about any of these posts, please contact CISHE on 02920 879609 or email
