Work with us
Manchester BRC’s vision is to drive health improvements and lasting change for all through creative, inclusive and proactive research that identifies and bridges gaps between new discoveries and individualised care.
We have been awarded £64.1 million for 2022-2028 to translate our scientific discoveries into new treatments, diagnostic tests, and medical technologies to improve patients’ lives in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and South Cumbria.
The expansion of our research themes and our geographical reach will ensure that communities across our region’s urban, rural and coastal settings will now be able to participate in cutting-edge research, and requires us to build our workforce to develop and deliver research across our region and to involve many more of our citizens and local patients in our research planning.
The NIHR Manchester BRC is committed to improving the lives of people – our patients, our communities, our volunteers, our workforce, and our partners. We educate, influence, and collaborate to conduct research that enhances health and healthcare for everyone. We recognise that we can achieve this only by being inclusive and by encouraging and celebrating diverse perspectives. For these reasons, it is essential that we welcome and include individuals who represent the 21st-century workforce and the diverse population of patients we serve.

The postholder will work full-time on a research study funded by the William Demant Foundation examining listening intentions in everyday life and how they shape hearing aid outcomes with the ultimate aim of using the information to personalise hearing aid settings and thus improve hearing aid outcomes. We plan to use machine-learning to identify markers of listening intentions from data collected via sound recordings, photographs, ecological momentary assessments (EMA), and passively monitored behavioural, physiological, and environmental acoustic variables.
This post would suit someone with a PhD in biomedical engineering, data science, machine learning, experimental psychology, audiology, cognitive science, computational neuroscience, computer vision, or other relevant discipline.
