Research Dissemination Fellow (LifeLab)

About Us

University of Southampton has been awarded funding to develop and host a Specialist Centre for Public Health.  LifeLab is a unique research-based educational project created by the University of Southampton in collaboration with the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and University Hospital Southampton.  With children and young people at the heart of everything we do, LifeLab provides engaging experiences in and outside schools in a variety of creative formats.  These experiences empower children and young people to understand the science behind the health messages they see and hear. They are able to apply that knowledge to the choices they make for their own lives – for their health now, in the future and for their future families.

You will have knowledge and experience of research within the public health sector, and to be able to work collaboratively to project delivery dates. You will also be an excellent communicator and able to build relationships both internally and externally.
