Research Assistant/Associate in Human Nutrition
Newcastle University

We are looking to employ a Research Assistant/Associate as part of a multi-centre project funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK. The project is exploring whether following UK-specific healthy eating recommendations is associated with better brain health and lower dementia risk. It will involve conducting a series of epidemiological analyses in the UK Biobank cohort. You will work as part of a collegiate and ambitious research team focused on diet and dementia risk reduction. You will have opportunities to develop new skills, present at national/international conferences, and publish in high impact peer-reviewed journals. You will have previous experience conducting epidemiological analyses in UK Biobank or similar large-scale cohorts focused on diet or other lifestyle factors and disease risk. This position is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build research experience in nutritional epidemiology, especially those looking to pursuing a future career in academia.
