Dear list members,
The European Policies Research Centre (University of Strathclyde, Glasgow and Delft University of Technology) is seeking to attract a full-time Research Assistant or Research Associate. The post will be based at the EPRC office in the Netherlands (at Delft University of Technology). You would participate in research programmes on regional development, particularly the design and regulation of national regional policies, EU Cohesion Policy, and State aid and subsidy control, as well as studies on European territorial cooperation, financial instruments, sustainable urban development, rural development policy, and citizen engagement in regional policies.
To be considered for the role, you will be educated to Degree level in a relevant disciplinem, such as geography, economics, planning, law, politics, public policy or European studies. Equivalent work experience in policy or consultancy fields would be welcome as would a good knowledge on regional development policy in Europe. You will be fluent in English and at least one other major European language (at C1/C2 level), with Dutch and/or German particularly desirable. You will have appropriate qualitative and quantitative research techniques, an ability to plan your own work, and enjoy working in a team. You will have good 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.
As a Research Assistant, you will work as part of a team. You will conduct literature reviews, develop questionnaires, conduct surveys, collect and collate data, analyse information, draw conclusions, and contribute to the drafting of research reports and publications. You will be responsible for managing and prioritising your work and ensuring that it is completed on time. There will be opportunities for you to participate in knowledge exchange activities related to research projects. We encourage career and skills development.
For applicants who have a PhD, or equivalent work experience, and evidence of academic/policy publications, the appointment could be made at the level of Research Associate, Grade RS07 (salary range £32,817 - £40,322 per annum) plus additional allowances based on work location (Delft)). In such cases, the job description will be recalibrated to reflect the Main Activities and Person Specification of a grade 7 Research Associate role. However, this would require evidence of more advanced involvement in research and knowledge exchange activities (such as development of research proposals, generating research income and managing parts of research projects).
The post will be for 24 months in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal thereafter dependent on receipt of further funding.
Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor John Bachtler, Director ([log in to unmask]) or Professor Fiona Wishlade, Director ([log in to unmask]).
