We are looking for an experienced social researcher to carry out research into three educational projects on behalf of the VP Education (the elected officer within the Students’ Union responsible for working to improve the student academic experience).

You will conduct research into the following areas:

• E-submission

• Support and training for Postgraduate students who also teach

• Lecture Capture

This work will provide vital support to the VP Education in driving forward new plans and lobbying the University on behalf of students.

For each of the projects you will carry out appropriate research activities which are likely to include a combination of desk-based research, focus groups and surveys. You will need to look at current practice at the University of Southampton as well as best practice elsewhere. You will then need to present the results of the various strands of research as a written report. 

The project is expected to take up to 100 hours to be worked flexibly as agreed with the Advice & Representation Manager and to be worked during January – February 2016

Interviews will be held on 14 January 2016, and the role will be effective from January 2016.
