About Us
King’s College London is a leading University with nine Faculties. As part of King’s Health Partners, we have an excellent environment for health care interaction and a strong focus on mentoring and career development.
The 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) placed King’s applied and allied health research 1st for: overall proportion of research rated 4* (world-leading, the best mark possible), research papers rated 4*, impact rated 4*, environment rated 4*(joint), Grade Point Average and Power. REF2021 rated as world-leading: 100% of our environment, 86% of our impact and 70% of our research overall. Over 95% of our research overall was rated as world-leading or internationally excellent.
As of 2025, our Faculty is number 1 in the world for Nursing (QS world rankings). King’s produces more highly cited research outputs (top 1% citations) on palliative care than any other centre internationally (SciVal), and is second in the world on the same metric for nursing and midwifery. King’s is the largest provider of health care education in Europe.
The Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care (NMPC) is based in the heart of central and south London. It includes the Cicely Saunders Institute for Palliative Care, Policy & Rehabilitation, the premier Institute for Palliative Care, bringing together clinical, research and education teams.
Our applied clinical and health multidisciplinary research transforms therapies, the healthcare experience and outcomes for patients and those important to them, wherever they are cared for. Our award-winning NMPC education programmes span pre-registration nursing and midwifery, and multidisciplinary post-graduate taught and research programmes.
We are committed to staff development, and offer opportunities to identify and access appropriate training and professional growth.
About the role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to work as part of the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Palliative and End of Life Care, contributing to policy-relevant research.
This Policy Research Unit (PRU) provides policy makers at the Department of Health and Social Care with timely, relevant, and rapidly-accessible evidence to help them make policy decisions that improve care for patients with advanced illness and their families/carers. The PRU undertakes a core programme of policy research, informed by current and future needs of patients and their families/carers. The PRU also has a Rapid Response facility that delivers timely, high-quality evidence tailored to policy makers’ needs. The PRU delivers findings directly to users of the research (particularly policy makers) through a range of outputs including policy briefings, reports and academic papers.
Working closely with the PRU Director Professor Katherine Sleeman, the postholder will plan, conduct and deliver high quality research, ensuring it is delivered on time. This will include quantitative analysis, using varied datasets including routine data, to support the core programme of policy research and the Rapid Response facility. The postholder will support the wider dissemination and engagement activities associated with the work of the PRU, and contribute to other research streams including systematic and rapid reviews, working collaboratively with researchers at the Cicely Saunders Institute and collaborating universities. The postholder will have demonstrable commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion in all activities.
We are seeking an energetic, dynamic, self-directed and committed individual with an interest in impact-led research. This is an excellent opportunity to build research skills and work alongside nationally and internationally renowned groups of researchers specialising in palliative and end-of-life care research.
Location: Hybrid – minimum of 2 days on campus (Cicely Saunders Institute, Denmark Hill).
