About UWE
UWE Bristol is an ambitious university. Together, our people are working hard to advance knowledge, inspire people and transform futures. We are looking for people with the skills and ambition to help us achieve those aims. With over 30,000 students, 250,000 alumni and 3,600 staff. In 2020 we were placed 21st in the Guardian's Universities League Table.
About us:
Following the successful £2m award from the Engineering and Physical Services Research Council (EPSRC), UWE Bristol is leading a University consortium to continue the work of the Redistributed Manufacturing in Healthcare Network (RiHN) focusing on Redistributed Manufacturing (RDM) in deployed medical care. The RiHN aims to fund feasibility studies to advanced applications of RDM in five key areas, covering additive manufacturing, cell and tissue therapies, clinicals fluids and pharmaceuticals. It will also define requirements from an end-user perspective and develop the business case for innovation adoption. The post is funded for 12 months with potential for a short extension.
This is an exciting time for Bristol Business School. Our state of the art, £55million building has enhanced our ability to deliver an innovative research and strengthened our stakeholder engagement activity regionally, nationally and internationally. Bristol Business School sits alongside Bristol Law School within the Faculty of Business and Law. Our vision is to be internationally renowned for enterprising and practice-led research and teaching that benefit our students and society.
About you:
This role primarily involves delivering the research agenda for Workpackage 1 (WP1) - Military and Emergency Medicine Requirements in Deployed Operations. The Senior Research Fellow (SRF) will be responsible for executing the project plan for WP1 and implementing strategy and direction set by the core team of RiHN Investigators.
The researcher will be responsible for investigating requirements for RDM in deployed operations. This will be achieved by establishing optimal research design and methodologies, executing data collection and analysis and collaboratively writing research outputs. The research will be achieved to the required quality and timescales as set out in the WP1 project plan.
An important part of the role involves developing close external relationships with medical professionals (i.e. doctors, nurses and first-responders), as well as those responsible with supplying medical personnel with appropriate infrastructure, equipment and new technologies for use in deployed operations. Also, the researcher will have the ability to translate technical language across disciplines, particularly between healthcare, engineering and management, to assist the team and in communication with external audiences. The researcher may also be involved in supporting the needs of the larger RiHN research programme, contributing expertise to other Workpackages and assisting external feasibility studies to deliver greater impact.
Frenchay Campus:
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed – with £300m having been invested recently on new state-of-the-art learning spaces and accommodation while incredible new facilities continue to be developed to enhance our offer even further.
Frenchay campus has excellent transport links; as well as being located near the motorway network we are within walking distance of two train stations, our bus terminus connects us to the local bus and metrobus network and we also have a range of cycling and changing facilities, making our campus the ideal place to work for those commuting to Bristol.
In addition to progressive pay rates, UWE Bristol offers a wide range of employee benefits including:
