Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled research associate to join our team at NERC - the Natural Environment Research Council, in a collaborative partnership to develop design-led solutions for the green transition.

Project Overview

The project aims to explore the concept of more-than-human design, which involves designing for impact beyond humans. This requires considering the non-human centred world view and its implications for the future.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop design-led solutions for the green transition, focusing on areas such as the natural world, materials, health and wellbeing, urban environments, and technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Collaborate with academic supervisors and non-academic partners to ensure the project's objectives are met.
  • Conduct research and analysis to inform the design process.
  • Communicate project findings and outcomes to stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Early career arts and humanities design research associate with a strong background in design-led research.
  • Academic supervisor with expertise in arts and humanities design-led disciplines.
  • Non-academic partner with a specific challenge relevant to the green transition.
  • Research associate and supervisor must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding.

Working Arrangements

  • Part-time applicants (minimum of 0.6 full-time equivalent) are welcome.
  • Job share applications for the research associate will be considered, provided both candidates meet the eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Each project must involve one early career arts and humanities design research associate, at least one academic supervisor, and at least one non-academic organisation.
  • The research associate and supervisor must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding.
  • Non-academic partners must be micro or small and medium-sized enterprises, UK registered businesses, charities, or not-for-profit organisations.

What We Offer

  • A collaborative and supportive working environment.
  • The opportunity to work on a high-profile project with a strong focus on sustainability.
  • Professional development and training opportunities.

How to Apply

Applications should be submitted through the UKRI Funding Service. Please ensure that all required documentation is included with your application.
