Description

The School of Law, Politics and Sociology is looking for someone to join the Marginalisation and the Microbe project to expand impact work from the Wellcome Trust funded project in the Department of Sociology and Criminology.

The project is focussed on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in sexual health, using qualitative methods to look at ways to ensure that new approaches to reduce this resistance do not exacerbate social inequities.

As the Knowledge Exchange Officer you will play a pivotal role in the project, supporting Dr Catherine Will by helping with the website, social media and proposing new activities, such as additional workshops or events.

Creating and maintaining documents, and managing resources, you will be part of the success of the programme.

You will need to initiate knowledge exchange activities including setting up and running workshops, managing new material on the project website and engaging in social media activities to help increase the numbers of people around the project and work out when and how they might be receptive to learning from the new knowledge we are creating.

To excel in this position, we're seeking applicants with a relevant first degree or Masters' (Science and Technology Studies, Politics, Gender or Sociology) and experience in administrative roles, coupled with excellent IT, organisational and communication skills.

Research experience, analytical skills, and reporting proficiency are desirable.

Ideally, you'll have advanced knowledge of project coordination and familiarity with computer programming and IT would be advantageous. Further information on the required skills, experience, and knowledge can be found in the link provided below.

This role offers the opportunity to be appointed at either Grade 6, and is part-time - 1.5 days (or 10,95 hours) a week.

- competitive compensation with automatic service-related pay progression and annual cost of living increases;
- generous annual leave entitlement;
- regular meetings with your line manager and an annual development review to support your personal growth
