UK: Knowledge Exchange Post-Doctoral Fellowship at University of Leicester

Overview

Level 7 (£30,747 - £35,646 per annum)

The College is seeking to appoint a Knowledge Exchange Post-doctoral Fellow for a period of one year, ending 31 July 2011. The Fellow will be based within the School or Department most appropriate to their research interests/expertise, but must work to develop research projects involving participation from across the College.

The Fellow will draw upon research interests and capacities which already exist within the College, but will also add value by bringing a new focus, project and activities. The Fellow will develop identifiable outputs within the period of the Fellowship, by which performance can be monitored.

Outputs will focus on the development of research projects and applications for research funding with a significant knowledge exchange (KE) element. This may include specific KE research money e.g. through a KTP partnership, CASE/Collaborative Doctoral Award studentships, or it may include traditional research council/charity funding for projects with a significant KE element.

KE in this context is deemed to include formal partnerships as well as other relationships with non-higher education organisations, including both private and public sector organisations such as museums, libraries, legal and other professions, local government, government departments and so forth. The activities of the Fellow must bring benefits to the College which make a tangible contribution to the growth of KE culture in the College.

To apply for this role please go to www.le.ac.uk/jobs and search under job reference number AHL00066.

Deadline for Applications

Research Themes

There are a number of areas in the College where there is already activity, or the potential to develop activity, with a significant KE dimension, including:

Cultural policy
Cultural/cross-cultural and historical representation in different media
Digital heritage, combining digital media, cultural heritage and the arts and humanities
Science and heritage
Urban development, landscape and environment (The College has a variety of research strands relating to this including urban and rural history, architectural and design history, heritage, urban and landscape archaeology)

Applicants are expected to frame a specific project in one of these areas or in another Arts, Humanities and Law area that is distinctive to the College of Arts, Humanities and Law at the University of Leicester.
