We are extremely excited to be announcing some of the posts linked to our Horizon Europe funded 4-year project set to begin in September, ASP-belong.

In ASP-belong, we will develop and evaluate Augmented Social Play (ASP), a pioneering digital mental health intervention format. ASP uses smartphones to deliver real-world group experiences that combine immersive storytelling, augmented reality, collaborative face-to-face gameplay and evidence based psychotherapeutic methodologies to boost individuals’ mental health while fostering a greater sense of belonging within the group.

We are looking for a project manager / research fellow to be based at the University of Birmingham. To play a key role in managing the project and leading key research activities.

We are also looking for a research fellow to be based at the University of Birmingham. To lead a package of work involving intensive collaborative work with vulnerable young people and associated stakeholders, using qualitative and creative methods.

Finally, we are looking for a research fellow to be based at Karl Landsteiner University in Lower Austria (though there is substantial flexibility about primary work location). To lead work examining policies and priorities linked to adolescent mental health in education, and using these to inform ASP implementation.
