University of Warwick, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

Fixed-term contract until 30 September 2024, 1.0 FTE.

The person appointed will work with Professor Stephen Roper, and Dr Kevin Mole on projects related to business innovation, growth and productivity. This position is part of the Enterprise Research Centre’s programme focusing on SMEs, innovation, productivity and business eco-systems. The post requires strong analytical and econometric skills, an interest in the economics of innovation and ideally experience of working with company survey data.

The main research programme will be quantitative and involve econometric analysis of survey datasets and administrative data relating to SME innovation, growth and productivity. High quality research outputs are anticipated with the Research Fellow being expected to participate in all aspects of the research and dissemination process. A collaborative approach to working with other ERC researchers will also be required both as part of the overall ways of working of the research centre, and also as part of initial and capstone synthesis studies.

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure (£31,411). Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£32,348).

Interview Date: TBC.

**JOB PURPOSE**

To provide high quality research support working with other research staff in ERC. To participate in all aspects of the research process including dissemination, engagement and impact.

**DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES**

To maximize the developmental benefits of the project the Research Fellow will be involved actively in all aspects of the project including dataset maintenance and development, econometric estimation, and co-authoring and presenting conference and academic papers. The Research Fellow will also be expected to contribute actively to the impact strategy and wider dissemination of research results to stakeholders and policymakers.

The post holder should have, or be close to completing, a PhD in economics, econometrics or a related quantitative social science discipline. They should have demonstrable experience of quantitative methods. Much of the research involves using and linking firm-level data from existing large data sets, and experience in this is therefore highly desirable. Knowledge of panel data econometrics is essential, as is a working knowledge of Stata. An understanding of the economics of SMEs is highly desirable. Ideally, the post holder will have experience of the analysis of innovation or innovation related data and an understanding of the small business literature. The post requires strong analytical skills and the ability to clearly communicate complex information orally and in writing to diverse audiences including those non-technical audiences outside academia (policy and practitioner). A track record of user engagement would be highly desirable.
