Research Fellow (110403-0325)

They will have a keen interest in the field, underpinned by knowledge of the peer reviewed literature relevant to engineering education, and the capability to rapidly review, synthesize, and communicate findings in order to ensure the project can make best use of existing work in the field.

You will have demonstrable knowledge of diversity and inclusion issues in STEM education at national or even international level, and be able to show creativity and efficacy in your approach – for example, to improve equity of opportunity or to make a process or environment more inclusive.

You will be used to communicating effectively in a variety of settings (e.g. one-to-one meetings, formal working groups, conferences), and of reporting quantitative and qualitative findings to a variety of audiences.

You will have, or be near completion of, a PhD in an engineering education related field, and have an undergraduate degree or equivalent in an engineering discipline.

You will bring an excellent working knowledge of statistics to handle large and complex datasets (including theoretical understanding and practical analytical experience).

You will have demonstrable experience of evaluating qualitative (e.g. focus group findings) as well as qualitative data, and experience of working with potentially sensitive data.  You will bring direct experience of gaining ethical approval in relevant areas (e.g. for engineering-education-related surveys or focus groups).

If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure.
