Research Associate: Esrc Centre for Lifecourse Health Equity

6 days ago

Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Strathclyde Full time

**Salary Range**: £36,924 - £45,163

**FTE**:1 (35 hours/week)

**Term**:Fixed (until 31/08/2029)

**Closing Date**: 09/01/2025

As a Research Associate, you will work closely with (and be guided and supported by) Strathclyde’s Lead in the new ESRC Centre, Professor Kat Smith. The role is based in Social Policy, which is a thriving academic group with particular expertise in intersectional inequalities and participatory methods, and which is home to the Strathclyde Centre for Health Policy. The role will involve identifying and analysing existing qualitative data and evidence (e.g. in published reports, articles and in the UK Data Archive), producing syntheses of existing evidence (e.g. via meta-ethnographies) and, where important gaps in qualitative research are identified, undertaking new qualitative research (e.g. via interviews, focus groups and documentary analysis).

You will write up research work for publication, independently and in collaboration with colleagues, and disseminate the results via peer reviewed journal publications and conference presentations, with linked blogs and social media summaries/briefings to ensure the research is accessible to wider policy. Although this post is primarily a research post, you will be encouraged to collaborate with colleagues to ensure that the Centre’s research advances inform departmental teaching effort. You will also supervise a small number of relevant student projects, provide advice to students (e.g. via one-off skills or methods sessions) and contribute to teaching as required. This might include, for example, delivering guest lectures and seminars that relate to your research expertise and to your work in the Centre. You will also have opportunities to contribute to Centre and Department/Faculty administrative and management functions (e.g. through involvement in committees and the Strathclyde Centre for Health Policy). You will be encouraged and supported to engage in continuous professional development throughout this role.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline, or have equivalent professional research experience in addition to a relevant degree. You will have sufficient breadth or depth of knowledge in health inequalities and a developing ability to conduct individual research work, to disseminate results and to lead on knowledge exchange activities with local communities and with policy stakeholders. You will have an ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively and an ability to work within a team environment. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.
