Research Assistant/Research Fellow

Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge? Do you have a background in a behavioural discipline, preferably organizational psychology, organizational behaviour, social psychology, and/or human factors? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?

COVID-19 changed where we work. In 2019 5% of the UK workforce worked mainly from home, this reached 44% in May 2020 and remained at 27% in July 2020 when lockdown restrictions eased. Homeworking offers flexibility and work-life balance, but most products and services result from collaboration and discussion - work completion and performance are inherently social processes. Organizations must design offices, technologies and working practices that facilitate this social fabric. Businesses are planning for a return to the office and are adapting office space and work practices to retain benefits of remote working and support hybrid working. This multidisciplinary project aims to identify effective office design and adaptation of work practices to maximise gains and minimise downsides from remote and hybrid working.

The Socio-Technical Centre (STC) at Leeds University Business School is seeking a Research Assistant to help deliver this exciting multi-disciplinary project. A variety of research methods will be used, including interviews, workshops, diary studies, social network analysis, and both primary and secondary quantitative data analysis. Expertise in quantitative research is essential and experience of mixed-methods research is desirable. The project will touch on design, architecture, engineering and technology issues in addition to behavioural and organizational factors. This is an excellent opportunity to gain applied research experience looking at an issue that is central to the future of work, will involve working with a range of business stakeholders and to be part of a vibrant research community within the Socio- Technical Centre.
