About this position

The University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry is seeking a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher to join MARGINS (Mental health And Restrictions: Generating new INSights), a programme based at Warneford Hospital in Oxford.

MARGINS investigates the potential impact of proposed policy changes to online technology on children and young people. The programme brings together three complementary research streams, and the postdoctoral researcher will work across all three, providing senior quantitative and methodological leadership.

Working with Professor Mina Fazel, Dr Holly Bear, Dr Emma Soneson, the project’s statistical lead and international collaborators, the researcher will help develop research questions and analytical approaches within the programme’s aims. The role involves generating original analytical ideas, identifying opportunities for further analyses, and leading complex quantitative research.

The researcher will work with large-scale cross-sectional, longitudinal and international datasets, contributing to the interpretation and integration of findings. The position also involves supporting high-quality research publications, reports and presentations, with a focus on adolescent mental health, wellbeing, digital environments and population health.

The Department of Psychiatry offers an internationally recognised research environment with substantial programmes supported by major funders including the Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust and National Institute for Health and Care Research. The role is normally expected to be undertaken on site at least three days per week, with remaining work potentially arranged flexibly or on a hybrid basis.

This is a full-time, two-year funded postdoctoral research position. The salary is £50,067–£59,396 per annum. Benefits include a contributory pension scheme, 38 days of annual leave, childcare services, family leave schemes, cycle loan scheme, discounted travel options, and access to social and sports clubs.

What's required

Applicants must hold a relevant PhD or DPhil in a health, behavioural or social science discipline, such as psychology, epidemiology, public health or mental health research, together with post-qualification research experience. Essential experience includes conducting research with adolescents approximately aged 12–18, particularly on mental health and wellbeing, and independently planning and managing a research project, including a research budget and grant applications. Experience of, or demonstrable interest in, young people's digital environments and experiences and/or population health is desirable. Applicants must be available to start by 1 February 2027 at the latest.
