Research Assistant

Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

LJMU recently successfully won a Home Office bid to evaluate the well-being of police officers within a police force. To support this project, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious Research Assistant.  

The successful candidate, should be a dynamic and highly organised individual, and be able to work closely with a team of academics within the Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies. The post holder will be expected to support all aspects of the project, including: confidentiality; ethical approval; the day-to-day administration of the project; the collection and interpretation of data, conducting literature reviews, surveys and interviews; and contributing to the analysis and presentation of results; including the production of interim and final reports.

Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Carol Cox, Head of Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies via c.cox@ljmu.ac.uk.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
