Research Fellow, Centre for Immersive Technologies

University of Leeds

Job Description

Do you want to work at the cutting edge of healthcare technology research? Would you like to explore how extended reality (e.g., virtual and augmented reality) can be used to improve surgical training and patient outcomes? Would you like to be a part of an exciting new immersive technologies theme within the NIHR Leeds Biomedical Research Centre?

We are seeking a highly motivated Researcher to join the Leeds Institute for Medical Research and the Centre for Immersive Technologies at University of Leeds to contribute to our ongoing programming of research on using virtual and augmented reality technologies to improve surgical training and practice.

This position will involve you leading on the development of new research to understand how extended reality technologies can help optimise surgical performance and improve patient outcomes.

This post is funded by, and forms part of, our new National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Leeds Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). This exciting investment in translational medicine provides a unique opportunity to drive research which makes a difference to the health and wealth of the United Kingdom, but also to our local community.

Our new NIHR Leeds BRC builds on our strengths in musculoskeletal disease and engagement with patients and the public and now brings in research in surgical technologies, haematology (with the University of York), cardiometabolic disease, pathology, and antimicrobial resistance. With a vison to improve health and wellbeing by accelerating diagnosis, enabling early treatment that is personalised for each patient and, where possible, prevent disease and infection. It is driven by the need to address the grand challenges of an ageing, multi-morbid population.
