We're looking for an experienced systematic reviewer with a public health, social science or psychology background – to contribute to an NIHR HTA funded project, while gaining research experience in the School of Health and Life Sciences/ Institute for Applied Health Research at Glasgow Caledonian University and working closely with collaborators at Glasgow University (Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment Unit and the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit).
The successful applicant will work on a project to provide an up-to-date evidence synthesis that identifies candidate interventions which help men who have sex with men (MSM) stay HIV negative. The synthesis must not only show ‘what works’, but also how such interventions work, in which contexts and with whom.
The main purpose of the post will be to:
• Conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions to reduce risky sexual behaviour after a negative HIV test in MSM;
• Conduct pairwise and network meta-analyses to assess which particular component or components: (1) the mode of delivery, (2) the number of behaviour change techniques (BCTs), (3) the type of BCTs and (4) theory-congruent clusters of BCTs, are effective in reducing HIV risk related behaviour;
• Organise and host an expert event to enable the synthesis and translation of findings.
Key requirements for this role are a PhD in public health, social science or psychology or equivalent research experience, together with a proven ability to conduct systematic reviews. Experience of using the behaviour change technique taxonomy within evidence synthesis is desirable. Excellent communication, organisational and time management skills are required.
If you wish to know more about this role, or for an informal discussion about the project, please feel free to contact
