Three posts: Senior Research Associate / Research Associate / Tutorial Fellow Research Capacity Building This project is part of the ESRC five year Teaching and Learning Research Programme. The project is aimed at building research-capacity relevant to teaching and learning in all phases and sectors. It is part of the development of education’s contribution to social science research and to evidence-based policy and practice. There are three posts available and applications are invited from candidates with experience in any relevant discipline, including education, health, statistics, psychology, sociology, criminology or economics, for example. The precise nature of the roles and activities of the posts are dependent upon the individuals appointed. It would, therefore, be appropriate for candidates to apply for more than one, or even all, of the posts. Successful candidates will have an enthusiasm for the work to improve the quality of social science research; an ability to deal professionally with a range of interested parties; and a willingness to work both independently and as part of a team.
