1 year Research Associate post at the University of Sheffield.
<br>The postholder will work on a Leverhulme Trust funded project exploring the
<br>social implications of self-monitoring of health. In the context of the
<br>rapid growth in consumer technologies for self-monitoring, like blood
<br>pressure and glucose monitors and the rise of digital devices like personal
<br>fitness trackers, the project will consider what people do in everyday
<br>contexts and how self-monitoring integrates with wider healthcare. Focusing
<br>on a number of case studies, this qualitative study considers expert and
<br>industry perspectives and the everyday practices of self-monitoring.
<br>
<br>The successful applicant will have, or be close to achieving, a PhD in
<br>sociology, STS, or a related discipline, and experience of researching in
<br>the area of health medicine, technology, and society. Experience in
<br>qualitative research and analysis is essential, and of researching both
<br>experts/professional and lay perspectives, an advantage.
