REACH, recently established in Exeter, is a growing Centre that currently comprises 11 staff and doctoral students, holds grants totalling around £7 million, and collaborates in major projects in the UK and internationally.  The aim of REACH is to improve the lives of older people and people with dementia through research focused on three main themes: maintaining cognitive health in later life, living well with age-related cognitive disability and dementia, and supporting family care. This work has a psychosocial emphasis, draws primarily on perspectives from social gerontology, clinical and behavioural psychology, neurorehabilitation and public health, and uses a range of methods including randomised controlled trials, observational and cohort studies, and evidence syntheses.

REACH benefits from close links with the University of Exeter Medical School Institute of Health Research and PenCLAHRC, which offer outstanding support for health-related research. There are also excellent opportunities for collaboration across a range of disciplines and integration with ongoing projects, such as the IDEAL (http://www.idealproject.org.uk/) and CFAS-Wales cohort studies. REACH has strong links with local service providers and NHS services, as well as partnerships with key national and international organisations and with the Australian Centre of Research Excellence in Promoting Cognitive Health and Preventing Cognitive Decline.  

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Psychology and will have, or be developing, an independent, internationally-recognised research programme complementary to our areas of strength. S/he will be able to demonstrate a strong track-record in attracting, or demonstrable potential to attract, research funding; ability to work in collaboration with existing group members; an active and supportive approach to inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research that will help to foster interactions and links both within the University and externally; the motivation and ability to engage in continuing professional development; the aptitude to develop familiarity with a variety of strategies to promote and assess learning; and enthusiasm for delivering undergraduate programmes. A professional qualification in clinical psychology would be an advantage, but is not essential. We particularly welcome applications from candidates holding individual fellowships and may make additional appointments to suitably qualified candidates.

General Description of the Programme

GOAL’s Health Unit is a new initiative, building on recent work in the West Africa Ebola response and recognising more widely that there is a significant gap in global health service provision for the most vulnerable and that the international capacity to mobilise and deploy emergency health response resources lags far behind the need.

New health threats, such as the emergence of new type epidemics, increased burden of communicable diseases necessitating the need for long term health care, protracted conflicts and natural disasters destroying health systems, large scale population displacement as well as increasing urbanisation all pose new challenges to global health. This threat was evidenced most recently with the unprecedented Ebola epidemic in West Africa highlighting that the communicable diseases poses one of the largest threats to global security. The Ebola epidemic indicated more clearly than ever before that health challenges cannot be tackled on a country by country basis but that there needs to be a coordinated global health effort to have an increased number of technical response specialists, an increasing amount of data on possible threats and more resilient health systems in fragile countries.

The Ebola response also highlighted that GOAL’s country programmes do not have the technical strengthen to respond appropriately to health crisis to ensure an efficient and effective response without causing undue pressure to the country programme. The proposed Health Unit intends to be able to provide the required technical support to countries to respond to both sudden and on going health crisis with robust evidence and to collaborate strongly with the roving programme quality team to build resilient health systems in fragile states.
