The purpose of the project is to link SPMHS with The Trinity Centre for Practice and Healthcare Innovation (TCPHI) in Trinity College Dublin to support mental health nursing research with the aim of improving evidence-based care and practice and to support innovation in nursing practice through increased research activities. The role will involve liaising between the service providers and research teams to ensure evidenced based research for the enhancement of service user outcomes is conducted and internationally peer reviewed outputs for dissemination to the wider nursing population are achieved.
This post is offered on a part-time basis (3 days per week), for 36 months and will start immediately. This position will appeal to anyone who wishes to develop their research career and profile. The salary is commensurate with the IUA scale for a postdoctoral position. The post will primarily be based in the School of Nursing & Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, 24 D’Olier Street, Dublin 2.
