Project details

This opportunity is part of an appointed team of four people, who will develop research and impact activity for ‘The Impact Hub’ (TIH) interdisciplinary project, under the auspices of the wider Healthy & Innovative Loughborough (H&IL) project funded by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) via the Loughborough Town Deal project.

The successful candidate will work in close collaboration with supervisors and three other team members: Doctoral Researcher (Methods, toolkits, and assessment approaches for the collection, visualisation, and analysis of urban data for digital planning infrastructures); Research Associate (Urban & Regional Studies); and Research Officer (Spatial Data Science).

TIH will establish a town observatory to record and monitor change occurring in Loughborough from the implementation of the Town Investment Plan. This will support future evidence-based decision-making and sustainable regional development, research, enterprise, and knowledge to address specific problems identified in the plan by:

• providing support for business innovation, entrepreneurship, and growth;
• inspiring people to develop active and healthy lifestyles;
• understanding the town’s problems and promoting revitalisation of its centre.

The successful candidate is likely to have a background in or appreciation for the relationship between architecture, design, heritage, and urban studies.
