Research Fellow (106942-0325)

The post holder should have experience in capital markets research.

In addition, preference will be given to those applicants with strong programming skills (e.g., Python, R, Stata, Natural Language Processing, etc.), particularly those relevant to financial and risk analysis.

The post holder will undertake research, and more broadly support the work of the School to develop and enhance its reputation, both internally and externally.

Such support will involve some teaching duties, and integration into one of the academic subject groups within WBS.

The postholder will divide their time between three areas of activity: (1) progressing their own research agenda; (2) actively contributing to ongoing research initiatives at WBS in the areas of fraud and bankruptcy risk; and (3) gaining valuable teaching experience.

All Houlden Fellows will benefit from the mentoring of a Professorial colleague, to help them develop their academic careers, over the three-year period and have their own budget for research and travel.

Preference may be given to candidates that will complement the existing strengths in the School; and bridge between existing areas of expertise in the School.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission, or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure (£34,132.00 pa). 

Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure (£35,116.00 pa).
