You will be responsible for designing and programming ESM studies, coordinating data collection, analysing the data using multi-level modelling techniques, and contributing to dissemination and impact activities.

You will have a PhD in a relevant field, experience of independent research, and publications in respected journals within the field. You will have advanced statistical skills and knowledge of intergroup relations research. You will also have strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
