Wolverhampton RA 2023:
Details:
There is a research associate post advertised at the University of Wolverhampton, working on a project around stigma and gambling – funded by GambleAware. The post will be broadly mixed methods, but there is a large qualitative component. One study will use discourse analysis, so applicants with this expertise would be particularly welcomed. For more information on the post, including job description, please see the following link: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CYA691/research-associate. Deadline for applications is 5th April. Any questions please contact Dr Jo Lloyd (joanne.lloyd@wlv.ac.uk).
Researchers in the School of Psychology are seeking to appoint a Research Associate for a fixed term contract, funded by a grant from GambleAware. This is a full time temporary position until June 2024.
The team are conducting a study into the stigmatisation of people who experience gambling related harms in Great Britain, in collaboration with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), funded by a grant from GambleAware.
There is compelling evidence to demonstrate that people experiencing gambling harms encounter stigma, and that this stigma can be a barrier to help-seeking, but there is much we do not yet fully understand about the process. This study will seek to establish how people who experience gambling harms are stigmatised across different contexts, including potential stigmatisation from service and healthcare providers; civil society and the third sector; the community and families; popular media and political discourse; and the gambling industry. It will investigate which communities are disproportionately impacted by stigmatisation and why; and how stigma affects multiply-marginalised populations experiencing gambling related harms alongside challenges such as substance use issues, mental health conditions, minority status, homelessness. It will aim to identify the kinds of services, interventions, information campaigns and policies necessary to challenge stigmatisation and reduce associated harms.
The Research Associate will need to deal with sensitive material relating to participants’ (and stakeholders’) experiences of gambling-related harms and stigmatisation. Thus, it is essential for you to demonstrate experience in, and willingness towards, working with vulnerable and challenging populations and/or researching sensitive topics.
You will be expected to work independently and to take on responsibility in liaising with a variety of external stakeholders. You will also be expected to assist with the writing of reports and academic articles. Some travel may be required to carry out a small number of face-to-face interviews (this can be via public transport or own vehicle, and travel expenses are available). Occasional evening or weekend working may be required.
You will hold a good relevant first degree or equivalent in Psychology or a closely related discipline, with a strong emphasis on relevant research topics, research methods and data analysis. You must have demonstrable significant experience in qualitative research with quantitative research methods also required to undertake this post. This will typically necessitate holding a PhD (or being near completion of a PhD) in psychology or closely related area – but applicants with equivalent practical research experience will also be considered. All applicants must be fluent in spoken and written English.
Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Joanne Lloyd (joanne.lloyd@wlv.ac.uk)
