This job is only available to University of Bradford staff. It may be released externally should we not appoint internally.


Thanks to Expanding Excellence in England funding, the University of Bradford's Centre for Digital Innovations in Health & Social Care is embarking on an exciting programme of rapid growth. We are seeking a collaborative and motivated Research Fellow in Data Visualisation to contribute to the growth and development of the Centre.


Our Centre is multidisciplinary, undertaking high quality co-created applied research that (i) informs the design and implementation of new technologies in national and international health and care systems; and (ii) explores the impact of such technologies on patients, service users, carers, and health and social care professionals. The Centre's research employs theory-driven approaches that offer an understanding of the contextual factors that impact the success of an innovation, informing both future technology design and its implementation. Research in the Centre is mixed method, combining qualitative data that delivers deep insight with the quantitative data that caters to the needs of policymakers.

What you will be doing:

This is a 5-year post with a clear progression route into an indefinite position. You will be developing and evaluating innovative visualisations that contribute to the Centre's two flagship research programmes concerned with 1) design and evaluation of technology to improve decision making and reduce documentation burden, 2) design and evaluation of technology to reduce the carbon footprint of the health and social care system. You will contribute to the development of funding proposals, publish academic outputs in the highest quality journals, and contribute to PhD supervision.

Qualifications/ experience:

You will have a PhD or equivalent research experience in data visualisation or a related discipline. You should have experience of designing and evaluating innovative visualisations. Additionally, you should have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to publish in peer-reviewed journals as first author.
