Civic Imaginaries Research Associate

University of Glasgow - College of Social Sciences - School of Social and Political Sciences

Location: Glasgow
Salary: £40,247 to £45,163 per annum (Grade 7)
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 30th October 2024
Closes: 19th November 2024
Job Ref: 158152

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to develop research, knowledge exchange and impact activities as a key member of the Civic Imaginary Partnerships project based in the Division of Urban Studies and Social Policy. The role is funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, and the successful candidate will work with Dr. Michael Howcroft and partners across the UK to develop long-term ethnographic understandings of contemporary civic cultures.

You will be joining the project at its beginning and will be supported to contribute to the project design and to lead key activities. It will produce traditional and non-traditional outputs about the civic imagination’s role in local development, advancing new models and evaluative frameworks for place-based interventions and new avenues for place-based research.

The role requires expert knowledge in local governance and participation, creative research methods, working with creative practitioners in community settings and experience with participant and non-participant ethnography. Theoretical/conceptual knowledge of place, the civic, and a detailed awareness of place-based policies and practices across the four nations of the United Kingdom and internationally will be an asset. A flexible/hybrid working arrangement is possible, and given the nature of the research methodology, the project involves national and international travel. In years 2 and 3 (roughly Oct 2025-Sept 2027) the successful candidate will be required to work for extended periods within two case study neighbourhoods (Hull, Southampton, Chester and Frome). This should not exclude candidates with accessibility needs as adjustments to activities can be planned to successfully deliver the project.

In addition to Division/School/Institutional resources and opportunities this role has ringfenced funding for training and development, including attendance at national and international conferences.

For further details or an informal conversation about the role, please contact Dr. Michael Howcroft michael.howcroft@glasgow.ac.uk

This post if full time and has funding for up to 3 years.
