Research Assistant

£34,145 - £34,145
Co Antrim
Temporary / Interim
 

Job Description

We are looking for a post-doctoral researcher (or someone who has submitted their thesis) with a background in social, political, or behavioural science and ideally with experience in the area of neurodiversity to work on a systematic literature review regarding neurodiversity in the workplace, with a specific focus on the public sector. On the basis of the findings of this review, we are planning to develop a substantial external research funding application. Depending on prior experience, the person appointed may also be involved in the development of this application.

This research is led by a multidisciplinary team from the Centre for Public Policy and Administration (CPPA) and the Centre for Behaviour Analysis (CBA).

Although there now is considerable awareness and acceptance of neurodiversity and neurodivergence within society and private sector working environments, little work has been done on this in respect of public sector bureaucracies and the effects of neurodiversity on problem-solving approaches and decision-making behaviour. The work will seek to explore, identify, and harness neurodivergent skillsets and thinking within work settings (with a particular focus on public governmental administrations). We approach this work with a view to boosting innovation, problem-solving, and creativity, and ultimately enhanced efficiency and inclusivity.

The work will directly ?address real world need? by engaging in a research agenda that is novel, and which has enormous potential for influencing the quality of public and employment sector capacity, service delivery and neuro-inclusion.

To that end, we are seeking support from a post-doctoral researcher (or someone who has just submitted their PhD) who will work in collaboration with the research team to conduct a systematic literature review, guided by the team, including

- Developing search strings and search relevant data banks and search engines for peer-reviewed research papers, grey literature, and other relevant research;

- Follow a reputable format (e.g., PRISMA) to select and analyse the relevant papers/research.

- Conduct an analysis of the strength of the selected studies.

- If possible/appropriate, conduct a meta-analysis identifying effect sizes etc. from the data of the selected studies.

- Draft the systematic literature review paper, in collaboration with the team, to a publishable standard.

- If possible, get involved in drafting the funding application.



Qualifications

PhD submitted or awarded



Skills

In terms of profile, we are looking for somebody:

- with a background in social, political, or behavioural science or equivalent.

- experience with good quality systematic literature reviews (ideally evidenced by a publication).

We expect the work to be full-time for 2 months or part-time for 4 months (to be completed by Dec 2024).
