Don't ask me what the £$*+ this is, but @Tom Kindlon posted it in another forum! (Saving you the trouble, Tom. ) It's a job ad from Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust to assist Professors Alison Wearden and Christine Barrowclough. It sounds like psychoquackery.

The purpose of this post, which is funded by Research Capability Funding

Alison Wearden and Christine Barrowclough in the preparation of a grant
application to fund a feasibility study of a family intervention for chronic
fatigue syndrome.
The post is for 4 months in the first instance, but with the possibility of
extension subject to further funding. Under the direction of Professors
Wearden and Barrowclough, you will assemble the team for the application,
including patient and public co-applicants, produce drafts of the
application and revise it following review, work with the School’s Research
Business Manager to cost the application and carry out associated
administrative tasks. There will also be the opportunity to get involved in
the analysis and write up for publication of existing data. We are looking
for an enthusiastic and self-starting Psychology graduate educated to at
least Masters level, with excellent writing skills and experience of writing
applications for funding. Ability to network and liaise with members of
other professions, with patients and the public, is essential. Prior
knowledge of chronic fatigue syndrome or family interventions, or the
development and design of randomised controlled trials would be highly
