SOAS University of London is the leading Higher Education institution in Europe specialising in the study of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East. SOAS University of London is positioned to play a leaing role in reimagining higher education globally, with a new strategic plan in place as the basis for the renewal and revitalisation of the School which commits SOAS to both student responsiveness and research intensity. SOAS is moving towards a new model of international partnerships which is responsive to the transnational character of our global challenges.

About the Department:

The Centre for Anthropology and Mental Health Research in Action (CAMHRA) is a globally oriented and locally connected Centre of excellence for cutting edge anthropological research, education and public engagement in the field of mental health. It works to promote research on critical issues of inequality in access, experience and outcomes of mental health care with benefits for marginalised groups in the London area and cascading effects at national and global levels, and with special emphasis on mental health lived-experience and clinical practice-based research, and coproduced research outputs.

CAMHRA is funded for 5 years with a £7.8m grant from UKRI Research England, as a sustainable enhancement of research capacity in anthropological theory and ethnographic methods for mental health research, through additional academic staff, postdoctoral fellows, scholarships for doctoral and master’s research. Partnership is central to the working of CAMHRA which has collaboration for research and education/training in anthropology with NHS Trusts, Thrive LDN, voluntary sector and Higher Education and international partners. CAMHRA is well placed for policy and public engagement while deepening SOAS’s connections with London’s diverse diasporic populations and international collaborators.

About the Role

The Centre for Anthropology and Mental Health Research in Action seeks to recruit a Career Development Research Fellow to develop their portfolio of innovative and collaborative research on anthropology and mental health. This 1-year position is intended to support an exceptional early-career academic, with existing anthropological training at doctoral and/or postdoctoral level, to develop a path breaking large-scale research project, and to seek external grant funding for this project. By the end of the award, the fellow will be ready to lead their own research programme with the opportunity to be hosted at CAMHRA. The Fellowship is designed to encourage further in-depth research which could potentially result in publications such as an ethnographic monograph, and a programme of public engagement activities.

The Career Development Research Fellow will work on their projects within CAMHRA and advance its research agenda, engagement, and partnerships in the field of anthropology and mental health. They will conduct individual and collaborative research projects that include ethnographic fieldwork and produce high-impact academic and knowledge exchange outputs. They will support the work of the Centre, its organisation and intellectual life through education, teaching and training, workshops, events, and conferences convened by CAMHRA. They will be supervised by CAMHRA core academic staff and will be based in the Department of Anthropology at SOAS.
