Senior Research Fellow (My First 1000 Days Project)

University of Leeds

Job Description

School of Psychology, Faculty of Medicine and Health

My First 1000 Days Project

Are you interested in improving the long-term development and life chances of children born into disadvantaged communities? Do you have research experience in language and cognitive development or children and disability? Do you have experience working on feasibility studies?

We are recruiting a Senior Research Fellow to work on the ‘My First 1000 Days’ project, a project aimed at improving the long-term development and life chances of children born into some of Britain’s most disadvantaged communities. Funded by a substantial donation from an individual donor, the project will harness expertise from research groups across the University and work with a range of regional and international partners. This project has differing workstreams that represent a holistic approach to the crucial first 1000 days of a child’s life. The project will determine the feasibility of implementing group care with new mothers /fathers/ caregivers and their 02-year-olds in Leeds. It is anticipated that the project outcomes will influence and inform national policy, especially around how supporting early parenting can impact language and cognitive development, healthy behaviours, and support the flourishing of disabled children.

You will be responsible for the My First 1000 Days research activities which will include conducting a situational analysis, setting up and implementing a feasibility study, and undertaking qualitative and/or quantitative evaluations.
