Application Deadline: 1 May 2024

Department: Social Surveys

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: London, UK

Compensation: GBP 30,000 - GBP 43,109 / year

Description

Job Role: Senior Researcher - Social Surveys
Department : Social Surveys - Attitudinal Surveys & NatCen Panel and Centre for Social Survey Transformation
Location: London - Hybrid Working
Salary: GBP 30,000-GBP 43,109
Contract: Full Time

We are currently recruiting Senior Researchers to join our Social Surveys Team. We have vacancies in the below 2 teams:

Centre for Social Survey Transformation: The Centre for Social Survey Transformation is a multi-disciplinary team that delivers methodological, analytical and developmental research projects. It has a particular focus on evaluating the impact of methodological choices in surveys which provide National and Official Statistics.

We have a vacancy for a Senior Researcher to play a leading role in delivering survey transformation projects and large-scale social surveys. Recent projects include the development and integration of a new digital data collection tool into an existing high-profile survey; the design and testing of a new National Statistic-level mixed-mode survey; and a review of the feasibility of transitioning a large-scale face-to-face survey to a new mixed-mode approach.

Attitudinal Surveys & NatCen Panel: The Attitudinal Surveys team holds two of NatCen's flagship survey projects. The British Social Attitudes survey is the gold standard for attitudinal survey research in Great Britain and has been tracking changes in people's social, political and moral attitudes for forty years. The NatCen Panel is Britain's longest running random probability-based panel. It enables researchers to collect survey data from a high-quality sample more quickly and at lower cost than 'traditional' methods. Both projects work with a range of clients, including government departments and academia, and cover a variety of topics - from attitudes to gender roles to experiences of working in the hidden economy or views on transitioning to low-carbon heating.

Key Responsibilities

  • Be the main contact for projects and liaise effectively and professionally with NatCen staff, as well as external clients and collaborators.
  • Significantly contribute to the overall design and implementation of research projects.
  • Develop and test quantitative data collection instruments and other relevant survey material, including interviewer briefings;
  • Carry out quantitative analysis to a very good standard.
  • Write proposals, presentations and reports to a standard appropriate for external audiences.
  • Develop a good knowledge of policy and/or methodological areas.
  • Contribute to the ongoing development in the design of NatCen's flagship studies.
  • Contribute to promoting NatCen's work externally.
  • Maintain and promote high ethical and information security standards.

Whilst the departments operate in broadly similar manner across the Senior Researcher grade, some small differences may occur.

To perform any other reasonable duties that NatCen may require that are consistent with the broad nature of the job.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Essential:

  • Undergraduate degree.
  • Good understanding of a range of research methods, with expertise in surveys.
  • Knowledge of quantitative research methods.
  • Proven track record of managing and delivering high-quality research studies, helping to ensure their delivery to time and budget.
  • Strong quantitative research skills and experience of conducting research surveys and managing and analysing the resulting data.
  • Excellent communications skills (written and oral) and the ability to communicate clearly, in different styles and for different audiences.
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to work well under pressure and to manage deadlines effectively.
  • Experience of building positive relationships with customers/funders/partners.
  • Commitment to continuous improvement.

Desirable:

  • Experience of managing, delivering and conducting social research surveys.
  • Experience in supporting writing proposals for research projects and/or helping to develop grant funding applications.
  • Relevant postgraduate degree.
  • Experience of manging and/or analysing data using SPSS or R.
  • Experience of conducting surveys online and/or with probability-based samples.

  • 25 days holiday (plus 8 bank holidays) and flexible working
