We are seeking a Research Fellow to work on the SWERV! project, an evaluation of a violence prevention intervention delivered by National Ugly Mugs, led by LSHTM with NUM and University of Brunel. SWERV uses participatory, mixed-methods, guided by realist evaluation, with sex workers centrally involved in designing and carrying out the research. Together we will evaluate the implementation, impact, cost and cost-effectiveness of the intervention on sex workers’ safety and mental health.
You will support the evaluation by developing study protocols, designing research instruments, managing data generation, statistical analysis and reporting for the impact evaluation and lead an evidence review on violence prevention interventions.
The postholder will have a postgraduate degree, ideally a doctoral degree, in a relevant topic, evidence of experience in quantitative or survey research involving primary data collection or analyses of existing datasets (e.g. health service or programmatic data) and commitment to principles of participatory research. Further particulars are available in the job description. We encourage applications from candidates with lived experience of sex work, and/or who identify as Black, Asian, transgender, non-binary, gender-fluid and/or gender-queer.
The post is part-time 28 hours per week, 0.8 FTE and fixed-term until 31 May 2026. The post is funded by the National Institute for Health and Social Care and available immediately.
The salary will be on the Academic Pathway salary scale, Grade 6 in the range £43,947- £49,908 per annum pro-rata (inclusive of London Weighting). The post will be subject to the LSHTM terms and conditions of service. Annual leave entitlement is 30 working days per year, pro rata for part time staff.
