Researchers in the School of Psychology are seeking to appoint a Research Associate for a fixed term contract, funded by a grant from GambleAware. This is a full time temporary position until June 2024.

The team are conducting a study into the stigmatisation of people who experience gambling related harms in Great Britain, in collaboration with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), funded by a grant from GambleAware.

There is compelling evidence to demonstrate that people experiencing gambling harms encounter stigma, and that this stigma can be a barrier to help-seeking, but there is much we do not yet fully understand about the process. This study will seek to establish how people who experience gambling harms are stigmatised across different contexts, including potential stigmatisation from service and healthcare providers; civil society and the third sector; the community and families; popular media and political discourse; and the gambling industry. It will investigate which communities are disproportionately impacted by stigmatisation and why; and how stigma affects multiply-marginalised populations experiencing gambling related harms alongside challenges such as substance use issues, mental health conditions, minority status, homelessness. It will aim to identify the kinds of services, interventions, information campaigns and policies necessary to challenge stigmatisation and reduce associated harms.

The study will consider a UK-based sample, using quantitative (survey) and qualitative methodologies. The Research Fellow will work closely with the research team at the University of Wolverhampton, and liaise with partners at NatCen to carry out this work. Several phases of the study will involve significant qualitative research expertise, as they require scoping and thematic analysis of data from online forums; in-depth qualitative interviews with a variety of stakeholders and analysis of the resultant data; and discourse analysis of materials from a variety of sources. Experience of online survey design and execution, along with competence in quantitative analysis will also be required for an online survey component.

Stakeholder workshops will be convened throughout to involve relevant individuals with lived experience of gambling and gambling-related harms in the design, interpretation and dissemination of the findings. Organising and managing these workshops and supporting panel members with any queries will be a key duty of the Research Associate.

The Research Associate will need to deal with sensitive material relating to participants’ (and stakeholders’) experiences of gambling-related harms and stigmatisation. Thus, it is essential for you to demonstrate experience in, and willingness towards, working with vulnerable and challenging populations and/or researching sensitive topics.

You will be expected to work independently and to take on responsibility in liaising with a variety of external stakeholders. You will also be expected to assist with the writing of reports and academic articles. Some travel may be required to carry out a small number of face-to-face interviews (this can be via public transport or own vehicle, and travel expenses are available). Occasional evening or weekend working may be required.

You will hold a good relevant first degree or equivalent in Psychology or a closely related discipline, with a strong emphasis on relevant research topics, research methods and data analysis. You must have demonstrable significant experience in qualitative research with quantitative research methods also required to undertake this post. This will typically necessitate holding a PhD (or being near completion of a PhD) in psychology or closely related area - but applicants with equivalent practical research experience will also be considered. All applicants must be fluent in spoken and written English.
