Job description

Are you interested in working for a world top 100 university?

We are looking for two researchers with relevant professional experience from backgrounds including academia, community liaison work or project work within, for example, the charitable or GLAM sectors. Candidates will have an interest in academic knowledge exchange or community-engaged research, and ideally have specific interests in working with Sheffield cultural heritages, underserved communities, young people and/or policymakers.

You will have knowledge or experience of working in collaboration with local communities, writing public-facing reports and an understanding of the importance and value of communicating the outcomes of public consultation work to stakeholders in a timely and accessible fashion. Applicants with relevant lived experience are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Department of Archaeology offers a friendly and close-knit academic community, which undertakes world-leading academic research that tackles themes of global relevance, such as health, life histories and identities. Our strengths in education attract exceptional students from across the world and our training is highly valued by employers for its foundations in professional skills, and fostering of academic knowledge and critical thought. We sustain varied partnerships in our region and beyond, providing meaningful contributions to the heritage industry and public life increasing the national and global reputation of the University of Sheffield.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development. We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
