We are part of the Department of Early Life Imaging & Health and Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.  

The successful candidate will work with research psychologists, clinical and academic staff, helping with remote recruitment and assessments of paediatric samples at the Department of Early Life Imaging & Health and Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.   

The primary role is to recruit and arrange the online assessments with parents of children aged between 5 and 12 years who have previously taken part in longitudinal studies at King’s College London. This role also involves scoring assessments, entering data into electronic databases, data analysis and writing research papers.

This is a full-time post and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 18/12/2026 in the first instance.

Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) and the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at King’s College London in collaboration with Black Thrive Global and two international partners in the United States and Sweden have been funded to deliver a new research programme, titled Collective Action for Race Equity in Health and Social Care (CARE-HSC) that aims to address and dismantle structural factors that perpetuate racial discrimination and harassment within care systems.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Research Assistant to join CARE-HSC, specifically working on ‘Workstream 2: Informal Carers’ co-led by Dr Juliana Onwumere and Cllr Dr Jacqui Dyer (Black Thrive Global). This workstream integrates qualitative and quantitative methods with peer researchers to better understand how racially minoritised informal carers across life stages are impacted by and resist inequities, addressing key gaps and co-developing culturally safe tools and models of integrated health and social care.

The successful Research Assistant will support the team and co-develop a PhD project within the remit of the workstream. Research priorities and questions will be co-produced with a partner organisation and will include systematic reviews. The project will also explore enablers for implementing racially informed AI support tools across four Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) sites (London, Birmingham, Manchester, Black Country), drawing on existing quantitative data and new qualitative data.

A key part of the role will be building equitable and reciprocal relationships with carer-focused organisations and groups, ensuring the project is collaborative and grounded in lived experience. The postholder will work with postdoctoral researchers on qualitative components including ethics applications, study design, coordination, and dissemination. This will involve systematic literature and policy reviews, alongside qualitative data collection and analysis such as interviews, discourse analysis, participatory workshops, coding, and content analysis.

The postholder will also contribute to the new Race Equity in Care survey, including questionnaire design, ethics applications, and liaison with external partners. They will support data cleaning and quality checks, and contribute to quantitative analyses using survey data and secondary datasets (e.g. APMS) with software such as Stata, R, MPLUS, or Python.

The successful candidate will contribute to publications, reports and dissemination activities, present findings at seminars, meetings and conferences, and engage in PhD training and career development. They will also play a role in the wider CARE-HSC programme, fostering links across workstreams, cross-cutting themes and partnerships.

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31st December 2030, with the possibility of extension.
