The University of Liverpool is offering an exciting opportunity for an early career candidate with a quantitative research background in psychology, public health or the behavioural sciences. The post will entail leading collaborative research with the University of Oxford and partners as part of the new NIHR funded Biomedical Research Unit ‘Preventing multiple morbidities: co-designing interventions for the whole population and focused interventions for individuals with mental illnesses. The programme of research aims to reduce premature morbidity and mortality and narrow health inequalities by:
- Working with the public and policymakers to co-design and test policy and general population interventions to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCD) by changing behaviours of relevance to health (e.g. food choice, alcohol consumption).
- Co-designing and testing preventative interventions for individuals with mental illness that respond to their social exclusion and neuropsychological difficulties and intervene on the big four preventable risk factors (smoking, diet and obesity, and physical activity).
