The centre aims to better understand the complex interrelationships between society and mental health, with a commitment to:
- Ensure that the impact of social context is central to how we understand mental health;
- Work in partnership with affected communities.
To help us complete this work, we are looking for a Research Associate to help ensure we meet our commitments.
About the roleYou will work closely with Prof. Hanna Kienzler, Prof. Stephani Hatch, and Dr Rebecca Rhead as part of the Centre’s ‘Marginalised Communities’ programme.

You will also collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team of researchers as well as the Centre’s academic, lived-experience, and community partners. Additionally, you will work with researchers in the Centre’s Theory & Methods Hub and Communications, Policy & Impact Hub to innovate qualitative and participatory longitudinal research methods.
Using your expertise in qualitative, participatory, and creative methods you will conduct longitudinal research following people from marginalised communities over two years to explore how daily stressors evolve, and how community resources help manage mental distress.
Furthermore, you will support with the creation of a Community of Impact Practice which will bring together community organisations, schools, health providers, and lived experience experts to co-design tools that help evaluate place-based mental health initiatives.
You are expected to commit 0.2 FTE of your time to teaching within the faculty of Social Science and Public Policy. This will be agreed upon with your line manager and may include leading or teaching on a module, and supervising dissertations and student projects. Additionally, there is an expectation that you will develop independent research, including fellowship applications, with the support of the Centre.
This is a full-time role and you will be offered a two years fixed term contract in first instance, view to extend subject to funding.
