Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position working closely with Prof Joyce Tait and Dr James Mittra on an ESRC-funded project: 'Regenerative Medicine and its Development: An Analysis of Emergent Value Systems and Health Service Readiness'. The broad aim of the project is to examine the regenerative medicine (RM) field, in particular developments in cell therapies, to track the interplay between business models, measures of clinical utility, and patterns of regulatory oversight in order to determine the current and potential impact of the field on health and healthcare systems and how these in turn shape its development. The research will be conducted in collaboration with social scientists based in Birmingham, York and Sussex.

This full time, fixed term post is available from May 2014 until 30 April 2017.

The salary scale is £30,728.00 to £36,661.00 per annum.
