[ecrea] Post-Doc Vacancy: Investigating Mediated Sex and Young Peoples¹ Health and Well-Being

University of Sunderland is looking for a *Post-Doctoral Research 
Assistant* (fixed term) for the project: *Investigating Mediated Sex and 
Young Peoples’ Health and Well-Being*.

We’re looking for someone to assist in a Wellcome Trust Funded Seed 
Project investigating the relationships between pornography and sexual 
health in order to understand what kinds of educational interventions 
might be most useful to young people. Pornography is often portrayed as 
a public health issue, increasingly focused on wellbeing and ‘healthy’ 
relationships, and this project is particularly interested in the ways 
media have become central to those worries at the same time as they have 
become integral to experiences, identities and lifestyles.

*About the role*
The role will be very varied as well as challenging and rewarding, 
supporting the lead investigators Professor Clarissa Smith and Professor 
Feona Attwood while also supporting the development of an international 
network of scholars, sexual health educators and youth workers and 
related research activities.
To play an integral part in the development of the project we’re looking 
for someone with the skills and abilities  to carry out a number of 
vital roles, including managing events; researching potential speakers; 
liaising with network participants; preparing briefs and announcements 
and designing and managing project databases e.g. network and respondent 
information, research resources and news items.

We’re looking for someone with doctoral level experience in the 
Humanities or Social Science fields but with familiarity with critical 
sexuality studies and their intersections with health and education. 
Experience of conducting in-depth interviews and analysis of interview 
transcripts will be crucial and we’d also like to see a track record of 
developing peer-reviewed published work. The ideal candidate will be a 
team player with a ‘can do’ attitude to support the project and with 
excellent IT skills - handling spreadsheets and quantitative data and 
familiarity with a range of data packages, particularly SPSS or NVivo. 
Experience in public health would be very desirable, as would experience 
in working with young people.

This is a full time post for nine months starting as soon as possible; 
it will be possible to work remotely.  Full details of the role are 
available at https://jobs.sunderland.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?ref=0170-17 and 
applicants should complete the online application form via that portal 
and upload a CV of no more than two sides of A4, two referees (inc most 
recent employer), and a cover letter which specifically addresses the 
points in the role profile. Informal enquiries can be addressed to 
(clarissa.smith /at/ sunderland.ac.uk)

Closing date for applications is Friday 29 September 2017 at 4pm. 
 Interviews to be held in the week commencing 9th October 2017.
