We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic Research Assistant to join the Diabetes Research Centre at the University of Leicester. As a Research Assistant, you will support a range of health psychology and self-management research projects, including the M3 programme, an NIHR-funded initiative focused on developing and testing a disease management intervention for adults with early-onset type 2 diabetes.
Your responsibilities will include supporting research tasks such as liaising with NHS organisations, collecting and analysing qualitative data, and obtaining ethics and governance approvals. You will contribute to mixed-methods data collection, using tools such as NVIVO, and participate in the preparation of grant applications and academic papers. Additionally, you will engage with research participants, including healthcare professionals and patients, and support the smooth running of projects through administrative tasks and regular reporting.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of an impactful research programme and collaborate with researchers both within the University and across external institutions.
