LSE is committed to building a diverse, equitable and truly inclusive university.

 

International Inequalities Institute

 

 Research Officer in Inequalities

 

Salary is competitive and not less than £34,736 per annum inclusive. This is a fixed term appointment for 1 year.

 

The post will start on 1st June 2018, or as soon as practicable afterwards.

 

The International Inequalities Institute has been established by LSE in response both to the growing international concern about inequality and its consequences and to the high level of interest across all of the School’s departments and disciplines in inequality. 

 

Applications are invited from outstanding researchers for a twelve month Research Officer post as part of a programme of research on ‘Challenging urban decline narratives: enhancing community resilience’ at the LSE’s International Inequalities Institute (III) to carry out quantitative research that supports a wider team at the III which is conducting innovative qualitative case studies of four contrasting towns in the UK using a multi-method approach to explore how these towns have responded and adapted to their respective economic challenges and whether their relations to larger urban centres have enhanced or undermined their resilience.

 

Candidates should have a completed PhD (or close to completing a PhD by the post start date) in Social Policy, Sociology, Economics, Political Science, Law, Media and Communications, Statistics, Gender, Anthropology, Geography or another related social science discipline or subject area relevant for the successful conduct of research on urban inequalities; proven quantitative skills in the analysis of survey data; proven skills in analysing small area statistics on UK data sets; ability to conduct mixed method research, such as qualitative interviews and documentary research.

 

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

Interviews will be held in w/c 23rd April 2018.
