The Role

The Creative PEC working in partnership with Newcastle University and the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) is recruiting a Research Assistant/Associate in “Creative Industries (Policy)” based at Newcastle University Business School.

Are you an economist, or other quantitative social scientist, who is passionate about public policy for the Creative Industries and would like to contribute to a research agenda that will shape sector-specific policies at the national and international scale? Do you have the ability to understand, analyse and process data for academic and non-academic audiences? Are you interested in policy evaluation? We are looking for an energetic and committed individual who wants to make an impact on society while producing excellent academic research and develop a high level of expertise in a fast-growing field.

At Newcastle University, you will be joining the newly created Creative PEC Research Unit, reporting to the Research Director, Professor of Macroeconomics, Giorgio Fazio, and working closely with Hasan Bakhshi, recently appointed as Professor of Economics of Creative Industries. You will also be a member of the Economics Subject Group in the Business School.

Since its inception in 2018, the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-funded Creative PEC has succeeded in bringing about a step change in the quantity and quality of evidence available to UK policymakers seeking to support growth in the Creative Industries. Funding for a further five years has been awarded in the next phase and, commencing in June 2023, the Creative PEC will be hosted by Newcastle University and the RSA. The Creative PEC will continue to grow the evidence base, addressing industry and government’s current priorities for the Creative Industries including those set out in strategy documents such as, for example, the Government’s Sector Vision, whilst at the same time advancing research into the longer-term challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

You will be joining the team at an exciting time as it embarks on a phase of significant growth. Newcastle University has made an ambitious commitment to making the Creative PEC one of the world's leading centres for economics of Creative Industries. This commitment has translated into substantial investment that includes the newly appointed Chair and a Fellowship under the prestigious Newcastle University Academic Track scheme, which also includes a PhD Studentship (see here for greater detail).

You will have a passion for public policy for the Creative Industries and a desire to contribute to a research agenda that will shape sector-specific policies at the national and international scale. This role will involve carrying out research on the Creative Industries and, specifically, on the public policies impacting on the sector nationally and internationally, and their evaluation. You will be well versed in quantitative and qualitative research methods and tools and will be able to collect and analyse large primary and secondary data sets. You will also be adept at translating research for the benefit of non-academic stakeholders. Working closely with the PEC’s Policy Unit, you will assist the Creative PEC in managing its engagement activities with policy stakeholders. You will have the ambition to publish research reports and articles in international peer-reviewed outlets.

This post is available on a fixed term basis for 2 years.

Key Accountabilities
Conduct original research on the Creative Industries in response to the priorities set in the research plan of the Creative PEC
Compare and evaluate economic, social, and cultural policies for the Creative Industries locally, nationally and internationally
Collect, analyse and present primary and secondary data sets - providing commentary on the results of the analysis in both written and oral forms - for the benefit of the Creative PEC’s academic and non-academic audiences, in the form of PEC reports, academic articles, research briefings and technical and non-technical blogs
Collaborate with the PEC’s Policy Unit on policy development and co-author high-impact policy briefings
Work successfully in a multidisciplinary team of researchers and with other investigators and colleagues to publish world-leading research with impact on the Creative Industries
Contribute to the culture and general strengths of the Creative PEC and Newcastle University Business School, through the organisation and participation in research seminars, and policy and engagement events
