Senior Research Fellow in Public Service Data Analytics ESRC Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre

Job at University of Leeds in Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2

Are you an experienced impact-focussed researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have expertise in the application of advanced data analytic methods to public service administrative data? Do you want to further your career at a leading research-intensive University?

You will work within the ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre, jointly led from the University of York and University of Leeds, with a team of over 25 leading researchers from diverse disciplines. Working alongside 38 regional, national and international partners, you will play an important role, leading and supporting data analytic projects, writing up research findings, and developing and delivering knowledge translation and other impact work. With a doctorate or equivalent knowledge exchange or research experience in data science and the use of public service administrative data and proven experience of applied research, you will design data analytic studies, support the supervision of early career data scientists, develop research-based collaborations and work with wide-ranging partners and communities to advance social change through research. 

You will join a close and well-supported interdisciplinary team of 11 existing Centre researchers working on an exciting programme of high profile research related to policing vulnerabilities. You will play a crucial role in this research, and be able to demonstrate strong data analytic skills and the agility to identify where they may support research projects undertaken by the Centre. This post represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the Centre’s innovative, interdisciplinary approach. We are building knowledge from problem-based and place-based perspectives, about the interactions between vulnerability and service providers’ responses, and using these findings to build new, integrated and innovative approaches to harm reduction that address the needs of vulnerable people. 

You will be line-managed directly by Professor Daniel Birks at the University of Leeds, and will work alongside other Centre researchers and Co-investigators who are experts in their fields, delivering cutting-edge data analytics research on vulnerability and public service provision. You will contribute to team meetings and, with the support of senior academics, play an active role in research translation, application and impact, working with police, public services, and NGO partners on policy and practice development. 

The Centre is strongly committed to developing the careers of the Centre researchers, providing bespoke training, conference attendance opportunities and the opportunity to both lead and co-author publications.

Candidates must be willing and able to complete DBS and police vetting checks once in post. Additionally, because of the requirement to undergo police vetting to enable the research to be carried out, the successful candidate must have been resident in the UK for at least three years at the time of appointment.
