members of the research team, including PI Dr Rafael Mestre, Co-I Prof 
Matt Ryan, Co-I Prof Dianna Smith, Co-I Prof Mohammad Belal and others,

The postholder will contribute to outcomes and impacts, including 
engagement activities and knowledge exchange resources, potentially 
including policy guidelines, toolkits, co-authoring papers, etc. The 
project comes with funding for production of artworks, as well as travel 
budget for conference attendance and mentoring support.

We encourage interested candidates to contact Co-I Dr Alexandra Anikina 
((a.anikina /at/ soton.ac.uk)) and PI Dr Rafael Mestre ((r.mestre /at/ soton.ac.uk)) 
with informal enquiries.

*The title of Research Fellow in Artistic Research or Senior Research 
Assistant in Artistic Research will be applied upon appointment 
depending on the successful candidate’s qualification level.
This part time role of 21 hours per week at £36,130 to £40,497 per 
annum, pro rata, translates to an approximate salary range of between 
£21,678 - £24,298 per annum.

The environment

You will join a supportive, highly interdisciplinary environment in a 
working group of colleagues from different disciplines. You will have 
research freedom to design your own path to achieve the project’s goals.

The Department of Art & Media Technology works across art, game design, 
cultural leadership, digital media, creative technologies, and curating. 
The department supports a politically alert and contextually astute, 
interdisciplinary research environment, in which practice-based, 
scholarly, and editorial processes are at play.

Thinking of applying but concerned you might not meet all the 
requirements? Studies show that certain groups are less likely to apply 
to a role if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. If you feel this 
is the right project for you, we encourage you to apply, and 
particularly welcome women, Black, Asian and minority ethnic, LGBTQI+ 
and disabled applicants.

Apply by 11.59 pm GMT on the closing date. For assistance contact
