Research Associate

Have you worked to promote disability research? Are you a disability practitioner or critical disability studies researcher with a lived experience of disability? Are you committed to transforming equality, diversity and inclusion in the health, research and science sectors?

We are recruiting two Research Associates (RAs) who will be based in iHuman (an interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Sheffield) and join the team of Disability Matters, a new major international project funded by a Wellcome Trust Discretionary Award.

Disability Matters brings together disabled researchers and disabled people’s organisations across five nations. Through seven different research phases spanning six years, we will make disability the driving subject of inquiry.

We are looking for Research Associates who:

• Have experience of research and/or working within disability
• Are committed to working as part of a team
• Have experience of presenting information in a range of formats
• Are interested in translating research findings into practice

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities suited to the individual, subject to meeting the business needs of the post. This post is suitable for flexible, hybrid/remote working.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to the greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.

We are consistently ranked as one the world’s top universities, but there’s so much more to us than that. By joining the University, you will be joining award-winning teams and departments who are all working together to make the University of Sheffield a remarkable place to work.
