Research Associate or Fellow On The Project
3 months ago
Applications are sought for a post-doctoral Research Associate/Fellow (Grade 6/7, depending on experience) on the project “Urbanisation and Population Ageing: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Ageing in Place in Cities” under the leadership of Professor Tine Buffel on a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
**The Research**
The research aims to develop an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to understanding how urban environments can adapt to meet the needs of a growing and increasingly diverse ageing population. To do this the research has conducted a systematic examination of the processes and policy initiatives that shape the experience of ‘ageing in place’ for older populations in seven contrasting cities across the world: Akita [Japan], Bilbao [Spain], Brno [Czech Republic], Brussels [Belgium], Manchester [UK], and Quebec [Canada]. The research has applied a mixed-methods approach drawing upon an interdisciplinary, cross-national comparative framework. The objectives of the research are to:
- Integrate interdisciplinary perspectives and empirical evidence in order to develop a new theoretical understanding of ageing in cities.
- Examine patterns of population ageing across seven case study cities and explore similarities and differences in the ways in which cities have responded to demographic change.
- Investigate the experience of ‘ageing in place’ among diverse populations (long-term residents, ageing migrants, gender, class) living in neighbourhoods undergoing demographic and urban change in contrasting urban contexts.
- Develop a theoretical framework for assessing and evaluating age-friendly initiatives.
The first 3 years of the programme (01/03/21 - 28/02/24) have primarily focused on:
- Development of a theoretical framework, which adopts a ‘spatial justice’ lens for researching age-friendly cities and communities.
- Stakeholder collaborations and knowledge exchange activities.
- Fieldwork visits and data collection in the seven cities. The latter includes a) secondary data including demographic composition, urban characteristics, and policy documents for each of the cities and b) semi-structured interviews with age-friendly stakeholders in the seven cities.
The final 2 years (01/03/24-28/02/26) of the programme will be centered on qualitative data analysis, publishing, and disseminating the findings from the research. These activities are at the core of the advertised role.
As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
