Analysis of data

Writing up and disseminating findings for a variety of audiences

Managing the social media activities for the project

Helping to conduct research team meetings and supporting the establishment and running of the project Advisory Group

The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
