The Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford is looking for a new full-time researcher to work with Professor Eric T Meyer on a Health Foundation funded project "The Future of Healthcare: Computerisation, Automation, and General Practice Services". The project examines how we can better understand automation in the health sector using mixed methods, specifically robust quantitative methods that are underpinned by robust and rich qualitative data.
The Researcher will carry out in-depth qualitative and survey research into work practices within selected UK-based GP surgeries and related organisations. The researcher working in this area will spend extended periods working with various stakeholders in general practices and related organisations shadowing their work, discussing their tasks in detail, recording time spent on tasks as well as describing the work in detail, and following the links from tasks performed within the GP surgery to the other organisations and persons involved in those tasks and other tasks on which they depend.
We welcome applicants with a doctoral degree awarded or demonstrably nearing completion in Anthropology, (Medical) Sociology, Social Informatics, Science and Technology Studies, or another discipline with a specialism that provides suitable theoretical tools for understanding the social interactions between people and technologies in the health sector.
Based at the Oxford Internet Institute, this position is available starting in April 2016 for a fixed-term of 2 years in the first instance. For qualified candidates there are opportunities to obtain graduate supervision and teaching experience. To apply and for further details, including a detailed job description, please follow the link below.
