We are looking to recruit graduate research assistants to support a systematic review examining whether sweet‑taste liking is associated with adiposity in humans. The project will provide an up‑to‑date, comprehensive assessment of the evidence base contributing to understanding the development of obesity.
The successful candidate will contribute to:
- Conducting a systematic review of all human studies assessing sweet‑taste preferences and adiposity
- Preparing a peer‑reviewed publication for a leading nutrition journal
- Presenting findings at international conferences (e.g., FENS, SSIB)
- Supporting knowledge‑exchange activities with health professionals, policymakers, and industry
- Contributing to researcher‑training dissemination, including specialist meetings
This position is suited to applicants with training and/or experience in evidence synthesis, nutrition or behavioural science, and an interest in clarifying key assumptions in public‑health nutrition.
This position does not meet the eligibility requirements for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker Route within the UK Visa and Immigration service’s Points Based System. Therefore, BU will not be able to sponsor individuals who require permission to work to carry out this position. For more information, please visit
This position is offered on a 6-month fixed-term basis running until 31 December 2026. We have some flexibility with the allocation of hours / full time equivalence of the post (though 1 – 1.5 FTE is an approximate range), and invite applicants interested in a part-time position to apply, stating their preferences as part of their application.
For further information about the position, please contact Katherine Appleton at [email protected]
