About the role

Funded by the Wellcome Trust as part of its Institutional Funding for Research Culture scheme, you will be joining a dedicated team to deliver the I-REACCH (Inclusive Research Culture Achieved through Culture Change) project. I-REACCH is a range of complementary pilot projects, focused on under-represented groups, which will combine data collection/analysis, bespoke intervention development, engagement and evaluation through five objectives. Our shared aim is to be inclusive, promote equity and extend diversity. Five workstreams are going to test new ideas and ways of enhancing the progression of people who often feel excluded from a university career structure.

In this role you will lead the evaluation of the I-REACCH interventions with diverse and multiple stakeholders, mobilising a range of mixed methods with both qualitative and quantitative metrics and approaches.

About you

Joining us with a PhD and relevant research experience, you will play a vital role in the co-delivery of the I-REACCH work package 5, which focuses on designing, conducting and analysing formative and summative evaluation sessions for I-REACCH prototype interventions and conduct research on UX evaluation across diverse contexts and stakeholders, exploring risks and sustainability of enhanced technology acceptance. Your leadership skills will ensure that the provision meets (and where possible exceeds) Wellcome Trust requirements and expectations including reporting milestones. The daily tasks will involve you liaising with colleagues to design and execute robust and high-quality evaluations to measure multiple UX and performance metrics, reviewing literature and undertaking appropriate mixed-methods data collection sessions. You will need to be highly pro-active and energized to develop your research skills to deliver our vision for a more inclusive research culture.
