As an experienced and motivated Post-doctoral researcher, you will be able to demonstrate excellent research skills and be enthusiastic about using applied mixed-method and participatory research approaches to promote wellbeing through supporting the early detection of skin cancer by the public and patients from hard to reach (older men) and under-served groups (people of colour).
