The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.

We offer a fantastic range of benefits including a highly competitive annual leave entitlement (with the ability to purchase more), a generous pensions scheme, flexible working opportunities, a commitment to your development and wellbeing, a wide range of retail discounts, and much more.

Overview

As a Research Associate, you will support research (including data collection, study design, statistical analyses, manuscript writing, research dissemination, and knowledge exchange).

Under the guidance of Dr Alicia Forsberg, you will finalise research protocols, develop research materials, and draft research proposals, pre-registrations, and ethics applications. You will collaboratively lead on the day-to-day running of the study including recruiting participants, collecting and analysing data, and disseminating the findings to academic and non-academic audiences. In addition to supporting The University of Sheffield LEVANTE (https://levante-network.org/) site core data collection, you will be able to independently lead analyses and related studies. The project also offers opportunities for attending and presenting at international conferences.

Main duties and responsibilities

Conduct independent research on the development of cognition in children aged 6-14, and potentially younger and older age groups.

In collaboration with the wider project team, finalise and pre-register research protocols, and develop and create research materials.

Manage the day-to-day delivery of the research project (e.g. applying for ethical approval, participant recruitment, collecting, storing, and analysing data).

Provide guidance, training, and/or supervision, as required, to support colleagues and any students who may be assisting with the research.

Follow open research best practices (e.g. curating materials and data for sharing) to meet the highest standards of reproducible, robust, and transparent research.

Attend and/or contribute to relevant project meetings, including presenting information on research progress, gaining partner input, and disseminating outcomes to collaborators.

Disseminate research findings via publication in high quality, peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences and meetings.

Liaise with external partners and the local community throughout the project to recruit research participants and organise data collection activities.

Maintain a professional and sensitive approach to work, particularly when working with research participants and external partners and engage in relevant continuous professional development.

Carry out other duties, commensurate with the grade and remit of the post
