About the Social Research Institute
The Social Research Institute is one of the leading centres for social research in the UK.

It is home to seven internationally renowned research units:


  • Centre for Longitudinal Studies
  • Centre for Time Use Research
  • CLOSER
  • EPPI-Centre
  • Quantitative Social Science
  • Social Science Research Unit
  • Thomas Coram Research Unit


All of our centres are multidisciplinary, with staff drawn variously from economics, sociology, social policy, demography, psychology, anthropology and social statistics.

We promote problem-solving interdisciplinary research on particular themes where we have outstanding scholarship and critical mass, e.g. gender, families, work, inequalities, migration, bio-social interactions.


About the role:

The project takes place in the context of the forthcoming 30th anniversary of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.

The overall aim is the creation of new tools, materials, and approaches to promote and facilitate intergenerational dialogue through the arts on family stories to improve well-being among children and families and enhance the capacity of professionals working with children and families in using creative and arts-based approaches.

The project will include the creation of an interactive public exhibition that will travel to different communities across Rwanda.


The postholder will be based at UCL and will facilitate knowledge exchange activities, including project communications, website design and delivery, assist with the creation of project outputs both creative and academic, and provide additional support to the team in Rwanda, where required, with a focus on stakeholder engagement.

About you:

You will have a Master's degree in the social sciences (e.g. sociology, anthropology, psychology) and experience of research communications or knowledge transfer activities, ideally within higher education.

You will also have experience of the design and delivery of creative projects for public engagement, e.g. filmmaking, art exhibitions along with experience of project coordination, e.g. team meetings, external events and reporting to funders.


It is important that the criteria are clearly numbered and that you provide a response to each one.
