RESEARCH ASSISTANT IN APPLIED DIGITAL STORYTELLING /
DIGITAL CREATIVE PRACTICE
Loughborough University
The School of the Arts, English and Drama is seeking a Research Assistant to work on two Research Councils UK-funded projects entitled:
(1) LIDA: Loneliness in the Digital Age – This is an ESRC-funded project, supported under the Empathy and Trust in Online Communication (EMoTICON), exploring ways in which creative online interventions might help individuals and groups at risk from episodic loneliness (as a result temporary separation from home communities or other social networks) build strategies for coping. It is a cross-disciplinary, cross-institutional project involving researchers from Loughborough, Bath, Exeter, Lincoln and Newcastle Universities.
(2) Developing a drought narrative resource in a multi-stakeholder decision-making utility for drought risk management - This research will explore how empirical hydrological and ecosystem science interwoven with narrative resources can be ‘moved’ to share new knowledge with multi-organisational stakeholders to develop ‘critical interventions’ for both decision-making and learning for behavior change. The project is interdisciplinary integrating around the science-narrative theme.
The post holder will become a key member of both multi- institutional interdisciplinary research teams.
For LIDA, which will take up 75% of the postholder’s time, they will work with researchers from across the team to design, develop and trial creative online interventions and activities, working closely with stakeholder groups and communities.
For DRY, which will take up 25% of the postholder’s time, they will take part in the creation, capture and analysis of stakeholder narratives in different case-study catchments, both face-to- face and using social media and digital technology. They will work closely with the existing Loughborough RA on the project and will also share work with a Research Associate from the University of the West of England.
May 2015, 16614, evaluated 01/05/2015
They will have a key role in the overall development of the progress of both projects, as a member of the Project Teams. The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate the ability to carry out the post duties with energy, enthusiasm, efficiency and creativity.
The Research Assistant will work under the supervision and direction of Professor Mike Wilson and also in communication with the wider project teams.
