Job description
We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant to work on a Medical Research Council-funded Project `Minority Ethic Women's Experience of Menopause: a mixed methods study'.

We will use these methods to explore the experience of menopause in two broad communities of women based in the Liverpool city region: Chinese-heritage and Black women.
Working under the direction of the PI, Professor Susan Pickard, in a multi-disciplinary team comprising clinicians and social scientists, you will assist the Post-doctoral Research Fellow in recruiting our participants through local organisations and visits to relevant community spaces and assist in carrying out interviews and focus groups. We are particularly seeking a Research Assistant who is from one of these communities.
You will have an undergraduate degree or equivalent experience. A post-graduate degree in a relevant subject (social sciences, nursing or a cognate discipline) is desirable but not essential. You will have some knowledge of women¿s and/or minority ethnic health. You will be able to work within a team and liaise effectively with our third sector partners and agencies as required. Prior experience of interviewing is desirable but not essential.
