We regularly advertise for research staff to join CHSS which is highly-regarded and has an extensive track record in applied health and social care research. Staff members have opportunities to work with national health and social care experts in PRUComm, the Personal Social Services Research Unit (PSSRU), KMMS and ARC KSS. There are also opportunities to work with researchers across the university and with our NHS and local authority partners. These opportunities will be further supported by the launch of the University’s new Institute for Health, Social Care and Wellbeing.
