Research Officer - The Orientation and Integration of Local and National Alcohol Policy (12 Months Fixed Term)
This 12 month research post is available in the School of Law, University of Leeds, from 1st April 2007 to work on a study funded by the Alcohol Education Research Council (AERC) investigating the structures, policies and practices of local alcohol harm reduction partnerships and their connections to central government policy.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day conduct of the research, including all aspects of fieldwork. The fieldwork will take place at two sites in the north of England and will include interviews with policing personnel, local authority officers, drug and alcohol action teams, charities and support groups and representatives from other agencies. There will also be a national component to the research; interviews with key policymakers being conducted in areas outside of the two case study sites. In addition to qualitative interviewing, the role will require the ongoing review of policy documentation, academic literature and routinely-collected data with regard to alcohol-related incidents. You will be required to work both independently and as a member of the project research team. Previous experience of social scientific research in fieldwork settings is essential.
