Research Assistant (fixed-term post) (CC3018)

Type: Education & Research | Department: Politics, Languages & International Studies | Location: Bath | Closing Date: 22 Mar 2015 | On the appointment of Prof David Galbreath as Leadership Fellow for the Conflict Theme within the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC)-Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)-Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security (PaCCS), the role of Research Assistant is to support Prof Galbreath for his thematic and research fellow responsibilities. The Research Assistant will be expected to contribute both administrative and intellectual support to the Fellow and Conflict Theme. The Conflict Theme ‘covers a very wide range of research issues: from the causes and emergence of conflict, to the prosecution and consequences of conflict and how to end conflict and deal with its legacy. As a cross-Council partnership the theme will seek to encourage inter-disciplinary approaches drawing together relevant research across the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences plus some areas in science and engineering, much of which will not be explicitly labelled or considered as conflict research. It will also seek to promote collaboration with the public, private and civic sectors, and with policy-makers and communities seeking to address the diverse challenges posed by conflict around the globe.’ The post is fixed-term for up to 36 months. For an informal discussion, please contact Prof David Galbreath (d.galbreath@bath.ac.uk or 01225 385936).
