Job description
The Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), within the University of Sussex Business School, is seeking to appoint two Research Fellows to join the Serendipity in Research and Innovation (SIRI) project team led by Dr Ohid Yaqub. SIRI will investigate the role, management and impact of serendipity on research performance, focusing on the desirability and feasibility of targeting research. The 5-year European Research Council funded project is in its first year, and was recently profiled in a lead editorial in Nature.
The Research Fellows will contribute to the development of the serendipity concept, mapping research activity using innovative techniques, data discovery and collection, database management, data processing and analysis, and data visualization. There is also scope for the Research Fellows to pursue their own interests. Essential criteria for the posts are:
1. A PhD or equivalent experience in a relevant discipline. Applications from the natural sciences and humanities, as well the social sciences are welcome.
2. Fluency in oral and written English.
3. Sympathy for mixed methods and interdisciplinary study.
4. Experience working with datasets.
5. Ability to draw on a range of data science, statistical and/or bibliometric techniques.
6. An interest in science and technology policy studies and the ‘science of science’
The Research Fellows may be appointed at Grade 7 or 8, dependent on experience.
Informal enquiries are encouraged, and should be directed to Dr Ohid Yaqub o.yaqub@sussex.ac.uk
