Science Gallery London Evaluation Assistant

£33,540 - £33,540
London - Central
Office, Clerical & Administration
Temporary / Interim

Vital Signs: Another World is Possible is a season of public programming at Science Gallery London exploring the connection between human and planetary health. We are evaluating the season to understand its impact on audiences and the collaborators who contributed towards it. Questions we are exploring include: who was the exhibition audience and how did they find out about it; what did audiences learn; did audiences connect the exhibition with King's research; and did the programming shift how audience think about climate emergency?

We require an evaluation assistant to work with the Science Gallery London team to support the evaluation of the Vital Signs team. Duties will include:

  • Interviewing visitors to Vital Signs visitors;
  • Transcribing/correcting automatic transcriptions of visitor interviews
  • Assisting with other evaluation related tasks
  • Coding interview transcripts to support analysis (TBC)

The expected working pattern 6 hours per week for 8 weeks (48 hours total), commencing either w/c 20 January or w/c 27 January and finishing by the end of March. It is expected that about 4 hours of this will be on-site capturing interviews, with 2 hours per week focussed on the transcription of interviews. 

Vital Signs is open to the public Wednesday- Saturday 11 am- 6 pm, so it is expected that the evaluation assistant will need to be available for a minimum of 4 hours during this time window each week. Hours will be agreed with the Science Gallery London team to accommodate your schedule, as well as capture periods of heavy gallery footfall. Transcription and organisation of interview data can be conducted flexibly offsite and according to the evaluation assistant's schedule.

We hope that approximately 50 interviews can be captured between January and the end of March. Depending how quickly these interviews are captured, there may be scope to get involved with additional evaluation related work, for example collating and organising evaluation data, undertaking early analysis and coding of evaluation data, etc. 

To apply, please email Johanna.Kieniewicz@kcl.ac.uk your CV and a short statement (no more than 1 page) outlining your interest in the role, highlighting any particularly relevant experience. Deadline COP 22 January 2025
