Principal Research Fellow

As a leading applied research centre, Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research  CRESR seeks to understand the impact of social and economic disadvantage on places and people, and to assess and inform the policies and interventions targeted at these issues.

Our work is organised into five distinctive yet overlapping themes:

•  Housing and Place 
•  Inclusive Economy 
•  Sustainable Futures 
•  Voluntary and Community Sector 
•  Policy Research and Evaluation

We are looking for an experienced and ambitious interdisciplinary academic to lead our housing and place research cluster. You will foster its ambition and success, particularly in relation to our strategic priorities: to grow our funded research activity, produce excellent outputs and impact, and expand our postgraduate research community - including by strengthening our international profile and activity.

As well as leading our housing and place cluster and line managing a team of research associates and fellows, the post holder will be expected to contribute widely to the development and leadership of CRESR as a vibrant and supportive research environment through agreed management and leadership activities. It is expected that the post holder will be part of the Centre’s Leadership Team.
