Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool John Moores University Full time

Job Summary

Liverpool John Moores University is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

About the Role

The School of Biological and Environmental Sciences is seeking a Research Fellow in Decolonising Zoo Interpretation to undertake a part-time (0.2fte) fixed-term research project for 6 months. Funded by the Research England Policy Support Fund, the goal of this project is to undertake the research of colonial legacies within zoo interpretive displays so as to identify hidden histories and biases in perspectives/representation with the aim of informing policy guidance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop a framework to identify and catalogue the complexity of information displayed, including guidance on mapping processes required to identify and engage groups and individuals linked in the production of zoo interpretive resources.
  • Lead on the co-creation of framework policy guidance with the relevant professional body, whilst orchestrating the organisation of external activities and writing of research outputs.

Requirements

You should have knowledge of decolonising narratives and/or ethical inclusive practices in ecology and conservation. An awareness of current debates in cultural heritage sectors (e.g. decolonising museums) or the field conservation sector (e.g. parachute science) is preferred.

What We Offer

We offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

About Us

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

Our Values

LJMU values diversity and provides a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can fulfil their potential.
