[Commlist] Job Offer: 2-year, FT, Research Associate in COVID Intimacies

We're currently looking for a Research Associate to join Dr Jaime 
Garcia-Iglesias and Prof Brian Heaphy in the ESRC-funded COVID 
Intimacies project at the University of Manchester, department of 
Sociology. This is a 2-year, full-time appointment (£33,309 - £35,326 
per annum dependent on experience) commencing on 1 May 2022. The ESRC 
funded project ‘Covid intimacies: Resilience and viral safety among LGBT 
and heterosexual people using dating apps in the COVID-19 era’ will 
examine lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans (LGBT+) and heterosexual people's 
use of online dating apps to negotiate intimacy during and after 
COVID-19 lockdowns and social distance.

The study will provide evidence for the different ways in which the 
intimate lives of LGBT and heterosexual people have been similarly and 
differently affected by Covid-19 lockdowns and social distance; how 
diverse groups have developed 'new' practices of intimacy (including a 
sense of emotional and physical closeness) through dating apps; the 
impact of virtual intimacies on personal resilience; and the extent to 
which such intimacies mitigate or promote viral risk. The project will 
combine a nationwide mixed-methods online survey with in-depth online 
qualitative interviews. The survey will enable the gathering of 
demographic data, and the deployment of the Adult Resilience Measure 
(ARM-R).

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team formed of senior scholars 
and ECRs with an emphasis on career development and mentoring. Full add
