The post is based in the Department of Psychiatry and is full-time, although consideration will be given to candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 80% FTE) on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustment of duties.

Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery and Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford.

The researcher would conduct innovative research exploring the relationships between exposure to nature/biodiversity and human mental or physical health, as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome.

Research Assistant Flourishing and Wellbeing (2 posts)
University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry, Warneford Hospital.
The postholder(s) will be joining an exciting research sub-group within the NEUROSEC team, working on the NIHR Flourishing and Wellbeing Theme (see below), led by Professor Ilina Singh. We are committed to driving conceptual and empirical research at the intersection of mental health and planetary health science. Our novel approach is grounded in a concept of flourishing that can account for the entanglement of human and non-human health and wellbeing. We call this concept: ecological-collective-flourishing, or e-co-flourishing. The Flourishing Theme is interdisciplinary, with close partnerships across the University, including in Philosophy, Geography, English Literature, Economics and the GLAM (Gardens, Libraries, Arts and Museums) group.
Application deadline: Monday, 13th May 2024
