They will also have contributed towards peer reviewed publications, have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and a proven ability to work independently. The successful applicant will have experience of conducting archival research, and in delivering and managing public engagement events.

    The successful candidate will join the vibrant Gambling Research Glasgow network, conducting world-leading research on the social impacts of gambling ).

    The post is full time and fixed-term until 31 August 2030. It is available from 1 September 2024.
