University of Sussex are seeking to recruit a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) to join Dr Dimitra Petrakaki and Dr Petros Chamakiotis in a research project funded by BA/Leverhulme Small Grant Scheme on ‘Exploring the role of digital health platforms in improving clinical work and healthcare delivery in developing countries: The case of MedicineAfrica’. The project team will work together with MedicineAfrica, a digital platform delivering online education in post-conflict states with poorly resourced healthcare education and systems (primarily in Africa and the Middle East).
The post is fixed-term on a full-time basis for a period of two months, February and March 2020.

The PDRA is expected to have experience with qualitative methods in social science. Familiarity with global health, digital health, sociology of health and illness is desirable. The PDRA will be expected to travel to Somaliland for 2-3 weeks in February/March following initial briefing and training.
