[with apologies for cross-postings] This opportunity may be of interest. This comes via Project Leader Phil Jones, UoB (project details here: http://culturalintermediation.wordpress.com/). We are looking to recruit a post-doc to work on an AHRC-funded Project, Cultural Intermediation in the Creative Urban Economy. This project, part of the Connected Communities Scheme, seeks to find ways to improve the links between communities and the opportunities presented by the creative and cultural economy. The three year post sits across three distinct areas of work as part of this highly interdisciplinary project examining: the governance of the cultural economy; the engagement of communities; and modes of creative interventions to improve practice. Birmingham will be the primary case study and base for the researcher, although there will be coordination with parallel research being undertaken in Greater Manchester led by the University of Salford. We are looking for a person with excellent qualitative research skills; preference will be given to candidates with experience of community and participatory research. As the third year of the post will be dedicated to overseeing a range of creative interventions, familiarity with arts practice will be looked on favourably. A PhD or equivalent is essential, with candidates from a social science, arts or humanities background being considered. In addition to collecting data, the post holder will be expected to play a substantial role in determining the priorities for research, data analysis, writing and presenting findings.
