Job Details

The successful applicant will join a research team working on 'Everyday Integration project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. Everyday integration is a 24-month Project that develops a local and inclusive approach to integration in Bristol. Our approach views integration as:
  1. a process involving everyone, not just immigrants and minorities
  2. situated in the local contexts and practices of everyday life
  3. as something that informs policy, rather than being informed by policy


The Project aims to capture and encourage existing best practices of integration whilst simultaneously attenuating remaining barriers to integration to inform policymakers and community organisations. The Project uses a mixed- methods approach in collaboration with Bristol City Council and Community Partners to develop a solid evidence-base of integration practices and barriers in Bristol. Together with those Partners we will co-produce an Integration Strategy for Bristol and an Integration Toolkit that can be used as a template for other cities across the UK.

The successful applicant will hold a PhD (either completed or close to completion) or equivalent research experience in a relevant social science and have training and experience in qualitative methods. The successful applicant will be the quantitative and geospatial Researcher on the Project with responsibility for quantitative and geospatial data sampling, collection, analysis, and archiving.

For informal enquiries please contact Professor Jon Fox ( jon.fox@bristol.ac.uk ). The closing date for applications is midnight on Sunday 17 November 2019.

We welcome applications from all members of our community and are particularly encouraging those from diverse groups, such as members of the LGBT+ and BAME communities, to join us.
