At Lincoln, we challenge the traditional approach to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). We bring about the changes needed to create a diverse and inclusive environment by adopting transformational and progressive practices, founded on the need to ask questions, to challenge, to seek solutions, to look for evidence of change, to measure impact. We take a systems-based approach, working holistically across the whole institution to change the embedded structures and processes that lead to inequalities and isolation.
At the heart of our work is the Eleanor Glanville Institute ─ the University’s strategic lead for EDI. The Institute is a unique ‘hybrid’ department where academics and professional services staff work together, forging researcher-practitioner collaborations to underpin our inclusive practices by research, to develop new robust interventions informed by research, and to evaluate our impact and progress towards achieving our ambitions.
The Eleanor Glanville Institute is now looking to complete its founding staff group of sixteen and is keen to recruit a Research Assistant to join our central research and impact evaluation team. The postholder will be responsible for conducting EDI-related research and impact evaluation on a variety of projects that support our wider portfolio of activity.
We are particularly keen that our research posts provide pathways for early career academics to grow and develop their skills and opportunities and are offering this post on a permanent basis.
We’d be very keen to hear from you if you able to approach ideas and challenges in the field of EDI with openness to others’ approaches and perspectives, are keen to seek out new perspectives, are able to contribute to the atmosphere of constructive challenge we want to build within the Institute and the University, are able to communicate to audiences, within and outside academia, issues in relation to EDI that are often personally testing. If you can bring us originality and effectiveness in your ideas and ways of working that will help to achieve this kind of change, then please do get in touch.

We strive for a diverse workforce with the very best employees and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all. The University encourages applications from underrepresented groups inclusive of Black, Asian and other minoritised/marginalised ethnic groups, all gender identities and expressions from the LGBT+ community, candidates with a disability, and those that practise different faiths and beliefs, to enhance our One Community where we strive to be kind, patient, and supportive of each other.
