About the role
In this role you will work as part of a project commissioned by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) entitled 'Catalyst for Change: Transforming Responses to Harassment in Higher Education'.

Your role will enable you to apply your quantitative research skills and expertise in fulfilment of the project's strategic objectives, taking responsibility for key elements of the research design including reviewing existing policies across the sector, designing and distributing a survey of students, and analysing data. You will also play a pivotal role in shaping sector-wide change by contributing to written and visual outputs, liaising with policy audiences and disseminating findings at relevant conferences and events.
