The role

The successful candidate will join an established team to help produce research that will enrich understanding of the role of gender in online group meetings. Working with consortium partners based in Iceland, Germany and Spain, a key aim of GEiO is to build new transnational evidence on the currently unexplored ways in which digital videoconferencing innovations can be used to support or resist gender inequity at work. The successful candidate will use their research knowledge and skills to assist with the implementation and delivery of three complementary studies that involve both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
