PIPS opportunities at Mental Health Platform
The Mental Health Platform is a network of researchers with the shard aim of accelerating research into severe mental illness (SMI) and improving the diagnosis and treatment of those affected.
We are five challenge-led research programmes and one mental health data science hub. These six large public investments in severe mental illness (SMI)are funded by UKRI and co-ordinated by a centre in Edinburgh.
Our researchers investigate different aspects of SMI using a variety of approaches. Conditions include schizophrenia, severe depression, bipolar and diagnoses associated with complex emotions, like BPD, EUPD and CPTSD
PIPS Opportunity – Edinburgh and remote
Can include, but not limited to:
PIPs placements work on a diverse range of policy projects and are not expected to have prior experience of policy or knowledge of the policy area that they are asked to work on.
Students will also get the chance to help the team raise its profile, create new products and services for policy colleagues and deliver training and advice to academics.
All PIPs placement work aims to build skills and provide students with an insight into what it’s like to work on policy and in government.
