Esther Crawley - (what drives her) plus quotes

I wouldn't read too much into Crawley's connection to this post, a major part of the job is teaching and Bristol's Intercalated BSc in Child Health Research is specified for which Crawley is the course organiser. As a researcher the post holder will have their own priorities and while they may share Crawley's perspective there's no reason to suppose that will be the case.

 

it was more this line "You will have the opportunity to collaborate with world leading researchers in Child Health, Epidemiology and trials." that made me raise an eyebrow.

 

It does not specify in which direction the world is being led.

 

I think it might be fair comment as immediately it would include colleagues listed here: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/academic-child-health/staff-directory/ not to mention the 1000+ other academics associated with Bristol Uni's Medical School. Thankfully academia exists beyond the BPS Universe even if its adherents do get into senior management positions.

 

EC is top of that list; her profile is out of date as it still says she is the Deputy Chair of the CMRC.
as for the others on that list I am struggling to find a non-BPS one;
others we know well include Emma Anderson, (who I think was involved in FITNET-NHS), Maria Loades,
Dr Roxanne M Parslow,Senior Research Associate for FITNET - NHS
some others work with EC. Others have published with Amberley Brigden

a number of them on the list are in the
Health & Religious/Spiritual Beliefs and Behaviours dept

there are maybe a handful in what we would recognise as involved in biomedical research.

I am sure there are good non-BPS researchers, but not so sure there are that many in the
Centre for Academic Child Health.
