 Research Associate: Grade 6, £44,105 - £51,485 (including London Weighting Allowance) Research Fell

United Kingdom, London

About us

In April 2024, IoPPN, King’s College London led the establishment of a national disseminated population mental health consortium, as part of a UKRI funded population health improvement initiative (Population Health Improvement UK- PHIUK). This post will be situated in Department of Psychological Medicine, at IoPPN (Denmark Hill campus), London (KCL) and will work across this partnership. The consortium spans 10+ universities and non-academic partnerships including local government and public health. The consortium challenges areas include children and young people’s mental health, the prevention of self harm and suicide and multiple long-term conditions. In addition cross-cutting areas include: policy, practice and lived experience, data and methods, training and capacity building and inequalities. This role will be based with the central coordinating team at KCL, working alongside the Consortium Co-Director, and will support successful delivery of the programme.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher, with a strong background in public health and mental health research and epidemiology, and with expertise in quantitative and qualitative methods, to develop a programme of work examining upstream social determinants of mental health. You will work closely with the Co-Director of the consortium (Prof Das-Munshi) to oversee and lead research within the initiative and take on a leadership role, helping to coordinate and lead research activities, to ensure successful delivery of this national initiative.

You will have expertise in public health and in mental health research. Experience across a range of data sources (eg. Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Surveys, UK birth cohorts, health records including CPRD) and linked data would be an advantage, as would an understanding of quantitative and qualitative methods. You will work closely with our non-academic partners, which include Thrive-LDN, and you may have an understanding of theory of change and other methodologies commonly used in these sectors.

The population mental health consortium will be establishing a training programme and the postholder will be expected to work with this platform to share learning across the wider membership and inform the development of training materials.  Dependent on your prior experience, you may be supported to line manage more junior staff and be expected to work with peers in the consortium leading research and impact initiatives, as well as chairing meetings. Applicants earlier in their career will be supported to work towards this.

The postholder will be supported to develop their academic career, including through fellowship applications and other grant applications to external research funders (led by the applicant or others in the team), and will be encouraged to explore collaborations with others. The postholder will receive research and wider professional skills development through local Early Career Researcher Networks and the College’s wider training programme.

This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31 March 2028.

The successful applicant will need to be able to be based on location (Denmark Hill campus, IoPPN) for at least 3 days a week.

	Ensuring timely acceptance of successful awards including contract negotiation and ensuring all ethical and due diligence checks are completed.
	Working closely with post-award and contracting colleagues to ensure accurate project information is captured and shared in a central project management system.


It is essential that the RGCM is highly organised, pays close attention to detail, and has a pro-active approach to problem-solving. The capability to prioritise and manage a busy and varied workload is crucial. The ability to work across a number of concurrent projects at different stages of development is essential. A confident communicator, you will form close working relationships with the other members of the Operations Team, Research Development Team, Faculty Officials, Heads of Department, Directors of Research, Department Managers and other members of Professional Support Staff.

Subject to business need, the working pattern can be arranged to suit the successful applicant. Dependent on experience, the successful applicant may need to work on campus for the majority of the time for the first three months.
