Clinical Research Associate jobs in United States

The Fleming Initiative is a new partnership between Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare Trust. Its aim is to protect global populations from the threat of antimicrobial resistance through an innovative approach combining research, behaviour change, public engagement, and policy to provide real-world solutions that work to protect the health security of local populations around the world.

As part of this programme of work, the Initiative is undertaking a project to activate Young People to address AMR, co-designing an educational intervention on AMR that aims to create the antimicrobial stewards of the future. The role will involve leading the behavioural science and research element of this work, looking to create real world impact and scale.

As a Research Associate, you will be undertaking a comprehensive review of existing educational interventions targeting AMR and background research. You will contribute to the co-design of new educational initiatives, working with the team, key stakeholders, students and teachers, and will be responsible for ensuring mechanisms for behaviour change are incorporated. The role holder will design and implement research on the impact of this intervention in schools using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

We are looking for someone with an interest in contributing to behaviour change initiatives aimed at reducing the aetiology of antimicrobial resistance and promoting antimicrobial stewardship. The individual should have experience of co-design and applied behavioural science. We are looking for a candidate with a PhD in behavioural science, health policy or health services research, who must have experience of having conducted both quantitative and qualitative research. Given the co-creation of the intervention, previous public/community engagement expertise is essential.
