This project is funded by The Humane Research Trust CIO, Stockport, UK. It is two-year, fixed-term post-doctoral research assistant position available in the Chemoinformatics Research Group in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University.

The project will involve identifying relevant PBK models from the literature, using systematic review. Key information from the models will be curated in order to expand an existing database of physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) models. Methods used to parameterise and evaluate published models will be investigated. The project aims to optimise parameterisation of PBK models using in silico (computational) methods and to assess the predictivity of such models, by comparison to existing data. Best practice in building PBK models, using parameters derived from in silico methods will be identified and used to develop guidance. You will be expected to transfer and disseminate knowledge (internally and externally) and to assist in the management and reporting of the project.

You should have, or expect to obtain soon, a PhD in the field of Physiologically-Based (Pharmaco)Kinetic (PBK/PBPK) Modelling.

Applications are invited for a graduate research assistant position on a mixed-methods research project focused on suicide prevention in Cumberland. Cumberland Council are embarking on the preparation of a new suicide prevention strategic plan. However, before they begin, they are seeking to understand the lived experience and causality that sits behind the loss of life to suicide in Cumberland, in order to give them the best chance of identifying the interventions that could make a difference.

This project will use a layered approach to understand why suicide rates are so much higher in Cumberland than elsewhere in England. The study, conducted by LJMU and commissioned by Cumberland Council, will aim to explore residents' and communities' exposure to suicide and if and how it has affected their lives. For those who have considered suicide or have been bereaved by suicide, the study will seek to understand the contributing factors and what could/would have helped those individuals to make different choices.

Work will involve conducting interviews and focus groups in Cumberland, administering online surveys, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, and writing reports of the findings. You will be based in the School of Psychology, with mentoring and supervision provided by Dr Ashworth and Dr Saini.

You should hold a BSc in Psychology or a related field. You will be used to working independently and have excellent organisation skills. Previous experience in conducting research and collecting and analysing quantitative and qualitative data (using SPSS and NVivo), within and beyond undergraduate qualifications, will be an advantage.

The successful applicant will need to be able to conduct data collection in Cumberland periodically (expenses will be covered).

The successful candidate would need to be available to begin work as soon as possible.
