We are seeking a Research Officer to conduct research on two ESRC funded projects. One of the projects is a pilot project which will monitor the impact of digital and other surveillance activities upon GRT and migrant Roma communities and groups. The research will consider key state surveillance practices affecting these communities across Europe with a particular focus on England and Wales (Theme II: Rights, Refugees and Marginalised Communities).
The second project entails working with the Environment Centre Wales, in partnership with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, to conduct mapping and assessment of co-produced innovation in local economies linked to sustainable food and energy production, flooding prevention, responses to pollution, and land management (Theme IV: Local Economies and Place Based Innovations).
The researcher will spend 3 days a week on Theme II: Rights, Refugees and Marginalised Communities, and 2 days a week on Theme IV: Local Economies and Place Based Innovations. The research is based in Bangor as part of the Wales Institute for Economic Research, Data & Methods (WISERD).
Applicants must have experience in research design, data collection and analysis relevant to the project themes. The position requires an individual with a PhD in a relevant social science area or related discipline, as well as excellent interpersonal and communication skills as he or she will be working with the WISERD team at Bangor and a wide range of research partners. The post holder must be able to travel to research sites within as well as outside the UK as necessary.
The researcher will actively contribute to publications, dissemination, impact, research development and capacity building.
The appointment will be full time and tenable from 1st March 2025.
