Are you a PhD student or post-doctoral researcher based at one of the Translate partner universities and looking to broaden your knowledge, skills and networks with a secondment?
Translate MedTech is seeking a PhD student or post-doctoral researcher (based at one of the Translate partner universities: University of Bradford, University of Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett University, University of Leeds, Sheffield Hallam University and the University of York) to work alongside the Research Liaison and Evaluation, and Research Awards teams at Versus Arthritis. These teams work closely together to provide information on research funded by Versus Arthritis.
This Translate MedTech secondment opportunity can be fully flexible, full or part-time, and continue up to a maximum of three months starting in April 2019. Up to £2,500 is available to cover travel, accommodation and subsistence costs. The successful candidate will be expected to work from either the Versus Arthritis office in Chesterfield, Derbyshire or London.
The secondment will provide an opportunity to gain understanding of musculoskeletal disorders; enhance communication skills; understand the motivations and values of charitable medical research funders; develop project management skills and understanding of the grant funding process and provide experience of patient involvement.

Together we’ll keep running, researching, influencing, volunteering, advising, chatting, baking, listening.

Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us defy arthritis.
