Role
We are looking for a motivated individual to join our team working on why victims of serious sexual offences withdraw consent for investigation or prosecution after reporting. The project is a joint initiative between Social Sciences, Psychology and a partner Police force.

Duties and responsibilities

As a Research Assistant, you will be at the forefront of analysing administrative data for cohorts of sexual offence reports and disseminating this in an accessible format for non-academic and audiences to generate impact. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Assist in analysis of administrative data of serious sexual offence cases.
  • Collation of results into a variety of formats which help communicate key findings to diverse audiences.
  • Collaborate with the team and our stakeholders to help keep the project running smoothly.
  • Uphold a strong commitment to the sensitive and appropriate use of language, recognizing its powerful impact.
  • Draft results and publication sections.

Skills and experience

We're looking for an enthusiastic, motivated individual who wants to embrace new challenges and is able to work independently under guidance and direction. You should have a genuine interest in making a meaningful impact within the field of sexual violence and the academic community through delivery of research in service of solving real problems. What's most important to us is that you bring:

· Alignment with our goals: If you are passionate about improving responses to sexual violence and committed to building a sustainable researcher/practitioner workforce in this sector, you're exactly who we're looking for.

· Inquisitiveness, Perseverance and Willingness to learn: The world of academic research requires an inquisitive attitude to new knowledge and ideas, as well as perseverance in pursuing it. If you're excited about exploring new ideas and delving deep into research activity, you'll thrive in this role.

· Strong Communication Skills: Effective written and oral communication is essential, whether it's engaging with academics, collaborating within the team, or promoting our project and its aims. Your ability to articulate ideas clearly and to connect with stakeholders and academic communities will be invaluable.
