The Role

We are excited to launch this new opportunity for a Research Assistant / Associate in polypharmacy and multiple long-term conditions, joining the Newcastle NIHR Patient Safety Research Collaborative (PSRC) in the School of Pharmacy / Population Health Sciences Institute.

You will join a thriving, multidisciplinary research community at Newcastle University, working alongside colleagues in the PSRC's Polypharmacy Theme and a wider network of clinicians, academics, patient and public partners, and health and social care colleagues across the region. The post is based with Professors Adam Todd and Barbara Hanratty, with strong links across the School of Pharmacy and the Population Health Sciences Institute.

The post-holder will play a central role in delivering this programme — contributing to study design, data analysis, patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE), and writing up of findings — and will work closely with the wider PSRC team.

The post is offered on a fixed-term basis 18 months from October 1st 2026. Newcastle University is a campus-based university; blended working arrangements may be possible, but we would be unlikely to consider applicants who wish to work entirely remotely.
