Research Officer in Experimental Games

Salary from £39,313 to £47,148 with potential to progress to £50,614 pa inclusive of London Allowance

This is a fixed term appointment for 3 years

This full-time position is to work with Dr Eleanor Power in the Department of Methodology on her Leverhulme-funded collaborative project on ‘Reputational poverty traps’ and the reproduction of social inequality in South Asia and the world.

This post will involve conducting experimental games in a number of communities in South Asia and elsewhere around the world. This will be done in close collaboration with Dr. Power, as well as researchers with long-term relationships with each community and local research assistants. The research officer will travel to each community to organise and oversee the administration of the games. This could entail travel to as many as 13 different communities and countries, and will typically be to more rural locations.

The successful candidate will:

·       have successfully completed or be close to completing a PhD in a relevant discipline by the post start date

·       have experience in designing and conducting experimental games, ideally (but not necessarily) with lab-in-the-field designs

·       have a commitment to collaborative, open, interdisciplinary research

We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave, hybrid working, and excellent training and development opportunities.

We particularly encourage applicants who are members of groups that are under-represented in academia.
