The Department of Psychological Sciences and Health aims to recruit a Research Assistant (60% at Grade 6) to work on the portfolio of projects with the University of Strathclyde’s Active Mobility Hub.

There are two upcoming projects that the candidate will be a research assistant role on: “Evaluation of Scottish Cycling’s Rock up and Ride (RUAR) cycling programme” and “Play Streets evaluation.” While the advertised role is for 9 months initially, it is assumed this will be extended to 12 months, additional funding dependent.

As a Research Assistant, under the supervision and guidance of the grant holder Dr Deirdre Harrington, you will play a key role within the evaluation of these two programmes. Both projects include a set of research and dissemination activities that have been co-developed with stakeholder organisations. These activities can be summarised under the following stages:

1. Data collation – bringing together and displaying existing data and evidence.

2. Evaluation data collection – organising and running data collection sessions in person and online with programme participants, delivery partners and policy stakeholders.

3. Writing and dissemination – writing funder/progress reports and preparing other relevant outputs (including academic papers).

The projects will involve planning, managing and leading everyday activities that relate to the stages above. All work will be done with support of the grant holder and will have input from University colleagues within Strathclyde’s Active Mobility Hub. You will be expected to attend monthly Hub meetings and can avail of upskilling and training opportunities happening in other Hub projects.

Strong interpersonal skills are critical as the role involves communicating and interacting with third sector representatives, school staff, children and members of the public from diverse backgrounds. A willingness and ability to travel is essential as data collection is planned to happen in Shetland, Inverness and Dumfries and Galloway although the majority will be in Glasgow city and the wider west coast area of Scotland. Your own car is not a necessity as you can access the University pool eVehicle. Equally, we encourage and support non-vehicle travel and time will be allocated for travel to sites via bike, train, bus and/or ferry.

Formal interviews for this post will be held on 25/09/2024.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Deirdre Harrington, Senior Lecturer (deirdre.harrington@strath.ac.uk).
