[ecrea] Research Assistant - Arts in Sustainable Prosperity

Applications are invited for a Research Assistant to work with Professor 
Kate Oakley on the ESRC funded, Centre for the Understanding of 
Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP) project. The project has an arts and 
culture theme, led by Professor Kate Oakley, which explores the ways in 
which arts and cultural activities can help develop ideas of the good 
life beyond material consumption. Taking a case-study based approach, 
the research team will be working in regions across the UK looking at 
the development of localised cultural economies, the idea of cultural 
work as ‘good work’ and the role of cultural activities in everyday 
life. The appointee will provide general research and administrative 
support, interviewing and conducting of focus groups, and contribute to 
the preparation and dissemination of reports and journal articles.

With a PhD in a relevant field, such as: cultural policy; human 
geography; sociology; environmental policy; urban or regional studies, 
or media and cultural studies, you will have a familiarity with standard 
socio-economic datasets, particularly at regional and local level. You 
will also have a developing record of research, commensurate with the 
level of the post, and excellent communication, interpersonal and 
organisational skills. The role is based at the University of Leeds, but 
you will also be required to work at various locations in the UK, as 
required by the project.
