SENIOR RESEARCH OFFICERS
Consumption Work and Societal Divisions of Labour (Ref. RE157)
Applications are invited for two European Research Council funded Senior Research Officer Posts in the Department of Sociology, to undertake research on the new field of consumption work. The positions have become available as part of Professor Miriam Glucksmann’s 3 year ERC Advanced Investigator Grant to undertake a programme of research on ‘Consumption Work and Societal Divisions of Labour’.
The main duties of the post-holder will be to undertake comparative research in one or more of the following empirical fields: domestic broadband installation; food preparation work; household recycling of waste; the household as a site for consumption work. The principal aim will be to explore the varying interface and interaction between the work of consumption and systems of provision in these different empirical domains and five comparator countries (UK, Sweden, France, Taiwan and Korea). The persons appointed will be expected to work independently, within the framework and objectives of the overall programme of research.
Successful candidates will have a PhD in Sociology or a related discipline. They will have conducted relevant post-graduate or post-doctoral research, preferably with experience of comparative and qualitative or quantitative research. Proven ability to author work of publishable standard will be important as those appointed will be expected to contribute significantly to publications arising from the project. It will be an advantage to have language skills in a continental European language. The positions will involve some travel. These posts are fixed-term for 24 months.
Please indicate in your application the research field(s) to which you would aim to contribute.
Salary: £29,853-£35,646 per annum Closing date: 19 September 2010
Apply online. If you have a disability and would like information in a different format telephone (01206) 873521/874588.
