Brighton, United Kingdom University of Sussex Full time

This role will support a new HEIF-funded research project exploring potential models for supporting Higher Education Providers to embed modules focused on civic engagement and experiential learning within Higher Education courses.
- It aims to enable civic engagement to be integrated within curricula at scale and cross-institutionally in partnership with large charitable organisations. As such, it seeks to understand and address existing barriers faced by both HE Providers and large charities in sustainably delivering curriculum-based civic engagement opportunities for students, in ways that add value to all involved.

- This role represents an opportunity to contribute to exploratory research that has the potential to enable more students in Higher Education to undertake civic engagement within their course of study, enable more Higher Education Providers to deliver it sustainably, and positively impact local communities through the work that students do.
- The University of Sussex values the diversity of its staff and students and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds._
