Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time

Location: University Park

The School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham is seeking to appoint a full-time Research Associate/Fellow to support Dr Laura Blackie. 

This position is funded by a John Templeton Foundation research grant titled: ‘Clarifying the Virtue Profile of the Excellent Thinker’. The project has an interdisciplinary team and will involve collaboration with psychologists and philosophers based at Wake Forest University and Whitworth University in the USA to identify the psychological traits that characterise people with exemplary intellectual character. The Research Associate/Fellow will lead on a specific project within the larger grant to investigate whether there are individual differences in intellectual character that manifest in how people narrate their life stories and explain situations that require the exercise of their intellectual character, such as admitting errors in judgment or handling of interpersonal conflict. 

About you

The successful candidate will:

  • Have extensive experience with qualitative research including study design, data collection, and data analysis. 
  • Have high analytical experience to analyse and interpret statistical data whilst using associated statistical analysis packages (e.g., SPSS, R, or AMOS). 
  • Have experience in recruiting and working with human research participants to collect research project data. 
  • Have experience in preparing ethics applications and research protocols involving the collection, management, and sharing of social science data sets. 
  • Have a strong ability to develop and maintain good working relationships with others on shared research projects. 
  • Have excellent organisational and project management skills, including a proven ability to prioritise work tasks, manage your time, and multi-task. 
  • Have an ability to work independently and take initiative, yet also work flexibly and supportively as part of a team. 

The benefits of the role

  • You will play an important role in a novel and exciting interdisciplinary project. 
  • Generous holiday leave - 30 days (pro-rata) annual leave plus university closure days and bank holidays. 
  • Access to employee pension scheme and annual flexible benefits scheme. 
  • We are committed to promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion across the Faculty and supporting family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis. The School holds an Athena Swan Silver Award, which recognizes and celebrates good employment practices undertaken to address gender equality in Higher Education and research.
