Research Officer

(Crafting Sustainability and Equitability: Reconstructing Pasts and Futures in the Indian Creative Economy)

Salary from £42,679 to £51,000 (pro rata) pa inclusive with potential to progress to £54,730 (pro rata) pa inclusive of London allowance.

This is a fixed term appointment at 0.5 FTE for 18 months starting in October 2025.

The Department of Gender Studies addresses the major intellectual challenges posed by contemporary changes in gender relations around the globe and is the largest research and teaching unit of its kind in Europe. Academic staff come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, but we are united in our commitment to mapping and intervening in the gendered nature of social processes, and in our belief that an integrated interdisciplinary and global approach is needed to do so. In our research and teaching we combine theory and practice, with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective.

We are looking to recruit a Research Officer who will support the AHRC-funded Crafting Sustainability and Equitability: Reconstructing Pasts and Futures in the Indian Creative Economy project. Led by Dr Rohit K Dasgupta, this research concentrates on an essential part of India’s creative economy: the traditional handicrafts sector.

Candidates should have:

• A completed PhD by the post start date in social sciences, humanities or another area related to the project.
• Ability to design a programme of research that complements the research goals of the project.
• Ability to work in close partnership with academic and professional services staff, including on a one-on-one basis, and to provide effective support, as necessary.
  
  
  

• A covering letter which explains how you meet each of the essential and desirable criteria that are set out in the Person Specification for the post. You should also state your motivation for applying; and
• A Curriculum Vitae that indicates details of your research experience, and your most important publications and working papers.
