PDRA (Quantitative and GIS, Rural-Spatial-Justice)

The Role

We are seeking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to work on a new research project, ‘Rural Discontent, Spatial Justice and Disruptive Politics in the 21st Century’ (Rural-Spatial-Justice), led by Professor Michael Woods. The project, selected as a European Research Council Advanced Grant and funded by the UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee, examines patterns and dynamics of rural support for disruptive political movements (such as populism) in liberal democracies, explores connections to sentiments of rural discontent and perceptions of spatial injustice, and investigate responses that address polarisation and promote social and spatial justice.

The post-holder will contribute to the research through the collation, mapping, visualisation and analysis of quantitative data, including election results and survey data. The responsibilities of the post-holder will additionally include contributions to the intellectual and methodological design and development of the research, routine project management, and dissemination of results, including writing scientific outputs, social media and online content, and presentations.

To make an informal enquiry, please contact Professor Michael Woods at m.woods@aber.ac.uk.

Appointments are normally made within 4 - 8 weeks of the closing date.
