*apologies for cross-posting*
We have two exciting opportunities at the University of Sheffield for social science researchers to work in our multi-disciplinary Sustainable Care Programme, within teams working on Achieving sustainability in care systems: the potential of technology and Combining work and care: how do workplace support and technologies contribute to sustainable care arrangements?. As part of the broader SC research team, and in collaboration with UK and overseas partners, you will also contribute to the development, delivery and outputs of the SC programme and participate in its programme-wide activities: including theoretical and methodological work on care, sustainability and wellbeing; the SC early career researcher network; and delivery of the SC impact strategy.
Achieving sustainability in care systems: the potential of technology
You will have knowledge of social care arrangements in the UK and experience of developing, evaluating or studying technologies, preferably in care settings. You will have an established interest in research on older or disabled people with support needs, and of publishing / writing up research results. Candidates with interests in, and knowledge of, the development and marketing of technologies for use in the homes of people with support needs are particularly encouraged to apply.
Combining work and care: how do workplace support and technologies contribute to sustainable care arrangements?
You will be a social scientist with expertise in qualitative research, and with the ability and skills needed to work effectively with international academic, employer and policy partners. Candidates with an established interest in working carers (employed people who care for or support a relative or friend who needs help because of illness, disability or in old age), or in schemes designed to improve workplace support for people with care responsibilities (including those using technology) are particularly encouraged to apply. Ideally, you will also have a record of publishing the results of studies on which you have previously worked.
Closing date
