Research Fellow in Co-POWeR

View All Vacancies

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Are you familiar with multi-disciplinary research and passionate about community resilience? Do you have a research interest in race and racism, and making policymakers and society more aware of the impact of COVID 19 on resilience and wellbeing in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic families and communities? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities, acquiring transdisciplinary skills and experience as part of a carefully balanced team?

This post is associated with Co-POWeR, a UKRI/ ESRC (BAME COVID Call) consortium on Practices of Wellbeing and Resilience in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Families and Communities. You will work with Professor Iyiola Solanke, a Project Manager (within the Centre for Law and Social Justice) and an Administrator. We are at the final stage of the research and this short-term post has arisen to contribute to the qualitative analysis, prepare the data for submission to a repository and draft final reports/ articles.

You will have a PhD at the time that your appointment commences or very soon afterwards. You will have research management skills to synthesise, analyse and interpret the gathered data with an ability to highlight key themes and synergies.

Excellent organisational skills and the ability to work to deadlines are essential – as is the ability to work as part of a team as well as independently. Intellectual initiative, creativity and curiosity are also essential.

The post will involve online working and depending upon current COVID restrictions, may require some travel.
