The opportunity

To support the Principal Investigator (PI) in the fulfilment of project deliverables and work packages required of the UAL research team contributing to the Innovate UK funded project three-year EU project Overcoming Barriers to Refill Adoption through Behavioural Intervention and User-Centred Designs

You will support the PI to undertake ethnographic research of the industrial partner’s current service, designing, delivering and helping to facilitate co-design workshops with lapsed and sceptical customers. This will involve qualitative data collection using mixed methods and media, which will be thematically analysed. You will also be supporting report-writing and the synthesis of heterogenous material into insights to feed into the service design and development. You will also assist with the delivery of further workshops and focus groups to evaluate and help report on this evaluation. 

About you

You will have a track record of utilising co-design tools and methods within a workshop setting and be confident in supporting the facilitation of co-design activities. You will also possess theoretical understanding of design ethnography and fieldwork practices, and strong analytical skills needed to collect and process heterogenous qualitative data.  You will have an emerging track record of publications and presentations appropriate to your career stage, and you will be able to communicate effectively with non-academic stakeholders.

If you have any queries about this role or need any reasonable adjustments for your application, please contact Twinkle Brahmbhatt, Senior Resourcing Adviser via email at RKEEstaffrecruitment@arts.ac.uk.
