**About us**:
University College London (UCL) is among the world’s top universities. Its Department of Political Science, which was among the top-ranked departments in the UK in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), conducts teaching and research in all fields of politics, including British and comparative politics, international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration.

The Constitution Unit is the Department's longest-established research centre. Created in 1995, it conducts timely, rigorous, independent research into constitutional change and the reform of political institutions. Its outputs include scholarly publications, policy reports, a popular blog, and a newsletter. It is led by Professor Meg Russell FBA, a specialist on parliament. Its Deputy Director is Professor Alan Renwick, an expert on electoral systems, referendums and deliberative democracy. Other areas of interest include the judiciary, monarchy, central government, political parties and devolution. Major recent projects have included research into parliament’s role in the Brexit process, the hosting of a citizens’ assembly on UK democracy in 2021, and the organisation of a working group focusing on how any future referendums on Irish unification would best be conducted.

**About the role**:
The Constitution Unit is looking to hire one full-time research assistant. The position will run from **01 November 2023 to 24 December 2024**.

The salary will be on the UCL Research Assistant Grade 6B **£36,832** per annum. The position is part of a new project, ‘The Politics of Parliamentary Procedure’, which is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and led by Dr Thomas Fleming.

The project will examine the politics of procedural reform in the UK House of Commons. It will particularly focus on understanding the extent, causes, and consequences of the government’s influence on parliamentary procedure. It will trace how proposals for reforming the Commons’ rules are drafted, considered, and voted on, and will analyse the role of different actors in that process. The project will provide an overview of more than a century of Commons reform, as well as a detailed analysis of developments in the last 25 years. It will also review other parliaments’ approaches to changing their internal procedures, to understand what lessons they might hold for Westminster. Research methods will include content analysis of committee reports, parliamentary debates, rules of procedure and constitutions, as well as interviews with relevant political elites.
