The University of Salford has an exciting opportunity for an experienced design researcher to take on a Senior Research Fellow role and join the team at the University of Salford (USAL) in the scientific coordination and delivery of Engage2innovate.

As a successful candidate, you will have substantial design research experience in, for example, product design; service design; system design; or communications design. You will be naturally curious and a critical thinker, able to work well in a team and communicate effectively with practitioner partners in the private and public sectors. Both intuitive and analytical, you will have a strong aesthetic ability, be practically-minded — being business- and tech-savvy — and be someone committed to delivering impact. If you aspire to advance the field of design innovation through critical inquiry and practical impact, please apply.

The Design Against Crime Solution Centre is located within the School of Arts, Media and Creative Technology at the University of Salford, and is a partnership with Greater Manchester Police (UK), DSP-groep b.v. (NL), and Landeskriminalamt Niedersachsen (DE).

The Solution Centre has recently been awarded European Commission Horizon Europe research funding of €2.1m to deliver the consortium project Engage2innovate (E2i) – Enhancing security solution design, adoption and impact through effective engagement and social innovation.

It is anticipated that interviews will be held on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th October 2024
