The University of Oxford is offering an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic junior researcher, with a masters or undergraduate social science degree, who is interested in developing a career in qualitative health and social care research. It is intended that the position will allow the post-holder to gain an in-depth understanding of qualitative health research through working within an established and successful research group (led by Prof. Sue Ziebland and Prof. Catherine Pope). Please see our website for further information about the group: https: // www. phc.ox.ac.uk/research/healthexperiences.
The post-holder will be provided with training to develop their research skills and experience as they work as a research assistant across a range of qualitative projects and tasks.
