Research Assistant
Job Description
Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London are looking for a part-time research assistant. The position will involve working on a project to identify research priorities for neurodivergent communities on the topic of disordered eating. This will drive the research agenda going forward and ensure future research is responsive to community priorities.
This project is led by Dr Virginia Carter Leno, in collaboration with Dr Moritz Herle (KCL) and Prof Will Mandy (UCL). The project consists of online data collection, as well as in-depth facilitated workshop discussions. The goal is to work collaboratively with experts by experience and other stakeholders to co-produce a research agenda on the factors that contribute to experiences of disordered eating in neurodivergent people (with a focus on autism and ADHD). In parallel a review of available population-based datasets (e.g., Millennium Cohort Study) will identify existing opportunities that can be leveraged to make new discoveries about eating difficulties of neurodivergent people; and inform where novel data collection is required.
The role holder’s responsibilities will involve participant recruitment, supporting data collection, conducting database scoping and literature review. This post is part-time, ~ 3 days a week (equivalent to 21 hours, subject to agreement between the candidate and PI), and an ideal opportunity for graduating MSc students to gain extra research and work experience in a friendly and dynamic environment that is rich in opportunities. There is also potential to be involved in manuscript preparation and submission in the future if of interest.
The post will be based at the IoPPN campus, but flexible working days/hours and working from home are very much possible. We would ideally like the position holder to begin in late June/early July, and the role will run until end of September.

To manage participant recruitment and participant payment processes for online data collection and in-person workshop
To contribute to project planning and day-to-day management of the project
To liaise with project partners and collaborators as required

The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
