Shape the Future of Virtual Reality Research for Autistic Children

Edinburgh Napier University is seeking a motivated and compassionate Research Assistant to join an exciting Royal Society of Edinburgh funded project exploring how virtual reality (VR) can support emotion and sensory regulation in autistic children.

You will contribute to a pioneering co-produced study that places autistic children and their families at the centre of developing future VR interventions. Delivered in partnership with The Yard Edinburgh, an inclusive adventure play centre, this research will generate valuable insights to help shape more accessible and meaningful digital experiences for autistic young people.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their research career within an applied, community-focused project with clear social impact.

You will support all stages of qualitative research activity, including conducting interviews with autistic children, parents, carers and staff, facilitating observations, managing and analysing qualitative data, and contributing to project outputs and publications. The role involves regular engagement with participants and partner organisations, requiring a sensitive, inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming approach.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:

Experience working with autistic people, children or other vulnerable groups.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Excellent organisational and time-management abilities.
A thoughtful and empathetic approach to participant engagement.
The ability to work independently while contributing effectively as part of a collaborative research team.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality research practice.

A postgraduate qualification and knowledge of co-production or neurodiversity-affirming research approaches would be advantageous.

Why Join Us?

At Edinburgh Napier University, our research makes a difference. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to a project with real-world impact, working alongside experienced researchers and community partners to improve understanding of how emerging technologies can support autistic children and their families.

This role offers valuable experience in qualitative research, stakeholder engagement and applied psychology within a supportive and inclusive research environment.

For detailed role description, please see the attached document on our careers page.

Salary: £31,236 - £ 37,694, calculated pro rata

Contract: Part time, Fixed Term (12 weeks, 14 hrs per week)

Interviews: Week of 7

th of September

Start date: No later than October 1st, 2026

Additional Information

The successful candidate will be required to obtain and maintain PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) Scheme membership before undertaking fieldwork involving children and vulnerable participants.
