Do you have a PhD in the Art, Humanities or Social Sciences? Do you have experience in engaging with community groups and organisations? Have you experience in using qualitative research methods (which may include participatory research methods and or ethnographic methods)?

• The range of organisations we have worked with
• The origins and development of collaborative relationships
• Examples of good practice and lessons learned

This project will result in a report, which will be shared with the academic community and with community/voluntary groups.

The successful candidate will possess a PhD in the Art, Humanities or Social Sciences, with experience in engaging with community groups and organisations. They will have experience of using qualitative research methods (which may include participatory research methods and or ethnographic methods).
