Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 2nd April 2025
Closes: 28th April 2025
Job Ref: 25000387

The post holder will be responsible for a) designing and conducting an original programme of individual research that aligns with the aims and objectives of the Visual and Material Lab and b) working with the Lab leader and other members of the Lab team to devise and deliver activities and outputs that extend the profile of visual and material methods in relation to medical humanities research.

We welcome applications from researchers in a range of disciplines, including, but not limited to art and creative practice-based research; art history and visual and material culture; film and media studies; visual and material history; visual anthropology and other social science disciplines with a focus on visual and material media and methods. We would be particularly interested in hearing from applicants working on race and/or neurodiversity, and applicants whose research engages contexts beyond English-speaking cultures and/or the global North.

Post-holders will be expected to contribute to Lab activities which may include but are not limited to: regular participation in Lab meetings, workshops and other events; collaboration in methodological innovation with interdisciplinary and cross-sector partners through a range of modalities; the design and delivery of pilot and proof-of-concept studies; and taking shared responsibility for sustaining a flourishing research culture in the Lab and Platform more broadly. Post holders will also be expected and supported to collaborate with other Labs, Sites, and Researchers across the Platform. Regular participation (in-person as well as virtual) at Site, Lab and Platform activities, as agreed with the Line Manager is essential.

These roles offer an exciting opportunity to make an important contribution to the development of research and methodological innovation within the Platform, while allowing excellent opportunities for career development in an exciting and progressive institution. Working day-to-day in the IMH and the Platform, you will also be based in a suitable academic Department, such as the School of Modern Languages and Cultures or Department of History in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities; the Departments of Archaeology, Anthropology, or Sociology in the Faculty of Social Science.

All staff employed in the Platform have dedicated time for professional development and can access a wealth of existing and bespoke training opportunities in consultation with Lab Leads.
