The Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham UK is looking to appoint a mixed-methods Research Fellow to conduct qualitative analyses, contribute to quantitative analyses, write papers and grants, and support the conduct and management of studies working across a range of projects in global health and health services research. The post is supported by a NIHR Research and Innovation for Global Health Transformation (RIGHT) project titled “Transforming the Treatment and Prevention of Leprosy and Buruli ulcers in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)” and provides an exciting opportunity to work in global health research. The project is working across three countries – India, Nepal and Nigeria – with the overall aim to improve self-care in the community for leprosy patients who are at risk of recurrent ulcers and further disfigurement and disability and to better understand the needs of patients with Buruli ulcer and the barriers to meeting those needs. The research programme also includes a clinical trial of a promising yet inexpensive tissue regenerative treatment for healing of ulcers.
