force for good. Our work is structured around three key themes that reflect current societal, economic, and political transformations: Modern Work and Gender Equality, Inclusive Entrepreneurship for A Sustainable Future and Leadership models fit for the future and inclusive cultures.
About the role:
This post will contribute to a developing programme of quantitative research on work and well-being, in relation to modern work (flexible working, digitalisation of work, AI), leadership, and entrepreneurship. The role is designed to strengthen research capacity in empirical, data-driven analysis with a particular focus on generating robust evidence that challenges prevailing assumptions and dominant narratives around “ideal” worker and entrepreneur models and the role well-being has therein.
The post is not tied to a single externally funded project, but supports the development of high-quality quantitative research outputs, pilot analyses, and competitive external funding proposals aligned with the centre’s research priorities. The postholder will work closely with academic staff to develop collaborative research, contribute to grant development, and produce publishable academic outputs.
This is a full time position. The appointment is for 12 months in the first instance, with the possibility of extension subject to funding availability.
