Oslo Metropolitan University is Norway's third largest university with almost 22,000 students and over 2,500 employees. We have campuses in central Oslo and at Romerike. OsloMet educates students and conducts research that contributes to the sustainability of the Norwegian welfare state and the metropolitan region.
The Faculty of Health Sciences consists of five departments and offers study programmes on all levels, including PhD. The faculty has about 6000 students and nearly 600 members of staff.
The Faculty of Health Sciences is looking for a new member of staff for a full-time, three-year position as professor/associate professor to develop and lead a new practice-based research initiative at the faculty.
The work will primarily consist of developing and coordinating the work on the bridge-builder school. The bridge-builder school will be partly a research school and partly an educational forum for 7 to 10 clinical research fellows. The research school is intended to supplement research education at the faculty and shall create competence in needs-based research among the researchers and the research fellows at OsloMet and the field of practice. The bridge-builder school will be developed in close collaboration with international experts in the methods developed by James Lind Alliance (JLA) in the UK. Read about it here: (http://www.jla.nihr.ac.uk/about-the-james-lind-alliance/).
The work on developing and leading the bridge-builder school will take place in collaboration with the faculty's vice deans for education and research respectively, the Faculty of Social Sciences, international experts in the JLA method, the faculty's research environment and practical training representatives.
There will be time to conduct own research as part of the position. There is extensive research activity at the Faculty of Health Sciences, with 17 research groups covering a large thematic and methodological breadth in health research.
More details about clinical research fellows and needs-based research
We are now hiring several clinical research fellows who can build bridges between OsloMet and the field of practice in the municipal health service and hospitals. The positions will break down as 60% work on a PhD project and 40% work on the development of good learning arenas for the university’s students in the field of practice. The research fellows will be employed for a five-year period at the Faculty of Health Sciences, but will have both the university (60% research) and the field of practice (40% development of practice) as their place of work. For the research part of the position, the research fellows will be affiliated to an academic community and research group at OsloMet, from which they will also receive supervision. It is also desirable that the candidates have a connection to a research environment in the field of practice. The research project shall be based on the field of practice and take an issue seen as relevant by both professionals and patients as its point of departure. There is a requirement that the project be based on principles for needs-based research inspired by the James Lind Alliance (JLA).
In the practice-based part of their positions, the candidates will develop new models for practice, assist in teaching and supervising the practical training supervisors, supporting professional development, such as knowledge-based practice and patient safety and serving as bridge-builders between the educational and professional fields.
