Research Officer (x 3)

Full-time, fixed term to 28/08/26

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) is committed to making a positive and decisive difference to people, organisations and communities through excellent education and research. We are increasingly recognised locally, nationally and globally as an outstanding department that supports its diverse student community to achieve excellent outcomes, and that generates original impactful research.

HSS has a highly applied, collaborative research culture which is supported by our research centres (School of Humanities and Social Sciences | Leeds Beckett University). To support our REF 2029 submission, with a particular focus on developing the impact of our research, we are seeking three Research Officers to work with colleagues in three areas:

Social Sciences

English & Creative Writing

History

Successful candidates will work with REF unit leads and the Director of Research to support ongoing research projects.

For an informal discussion speak to the named Professor for each post.

Closing date: Friday 25 July 2025 (23:59)
