The School of Critical Studies seeks to appoint a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to a Leverhulme Trust Research Project, ‘A Mutual Fascination: British horror and the psy disciplines, c.1955-present’ working with PI Dr Gavin Miller (University of Glasgow) and co-I Dr Timothy Jones (University of Stirling). The project investigates the relationship between the psy disciplines and horror fiction in post-war British culture, examining horror fiction across different media, including print, cinema, TV, and image-text.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.
