About the job

We are seeking a creative, thoughtful and collaborative colleague to join our Institute for Mental Health (IMH) and our School. We wish to attract a psychiatrist (CCT or equivalent in either adult psychiatry or child and adolescent psychiatry) with research and education expertise which aligns with one or more of our IMH research themes: suicide and self-harm; early intervention and prevention; innovation in policy, systems, and services; justice, equalities, and capabilities; mental health data science and epidemiology; multidisciplinary approaches to the neuroscience of mental health.  We have significant research strength in Psychosis and Mood Disorders clinical trials, data science and experimental medicine, and further expansion in these areas would be particularly welcome.

Our IMH is housed in a new Wolfson Research Unit and is a key part of the Wellcome Trust-funded Midlands Mental Health and Neurosciences PhD Programme for Healthcare Professionals. The Institute has also attracted significant recent investment as part of the Oxford Health NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and is competing for further infrastructure support at scale.

As well as these strengths within the Institute for Mental Health, we would also welcome colleagues whose research plans would connect with the Centre for Developmental Science and the Centre for Human Brain Health in the School and the Institute for Inflammation and Aging, Applied Health Research and/or the Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit in the College of Medical and Dental Sciences.
