Join the University of Edinburgh and you’ll be making a difference to everything around you. Be part of something bigger — where you’ll do meaningful work, grow and progress, be rewarded and recognised, and benefit from our strong commitment to your wellbeing. There are so many reasons to join us.
The University of Edinburgh is a world-class organisation. We look for the best in the field across all disciplines and provide a working environment where academics can develop their careers and passion for their chosen subject area. We offer the full range of academic roles and have a genuine focus on our students’ performance and wellbeing.
The Opportunity:
This exciting new role will manage the scientific development, design, and delivery of a portfolio of research projects in the internationally recognised Research to Understand Stroke due to Haemorrhage (RUSH) programme (www.RUSH.ed.ac.uk). RUSH is dedicated to improving the outcome for adults who have diseases that may cause, or have caused, stroke due to brain haemorrhage. The post is initially funded with pump-priming from donations to the RUSH programme, during which time the intention is for the post to become self-sustaining by securing new grant or philanthropic funding.
This post is full-time; however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
