[Air-L] 4 x six-month post-doc positions + training: ‘Data, Diversity and Inequality in the Creative Industries’

[Helen Kennedy]

*Data, Diversity and Inequality* *in the Creative Industries *is an
AHRC-funded project based at the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, and
York. We are recruiting four, six-month Creative Economy Engagement Fellows
to start in January 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project aims to explore data about creative industry workers and
audiences in order to understand patterns (for example of diversity and
inequality) within the sector. The four Creative Economy Engagement Fellows
will each work with one partner organization to devise and implement data
exploration that is relevant to partners, with supervision and training
from the proposing team. You will work in partnership with organizations in
the creative economy and will spend time in those organizations.
Partnerships can be set up by the Fellows themselves or by the project
team. This is an excellent opportunity for recent postdocs to engage in
training, develop skills, and gain experience of working with creative
industries.

These roles will be based at:


   - Sheffield Methods Institute and Digital Society Network at the
   University of Sheffield (contacts Mark Taylor and Helen Kennedy)
   - School of Media & Communications, University of Leeds (contact Kate
   Oakley)
   - Digital Creativity Labs, University of York (contact Darren Reed).

To apply for one of the two posts at Sheffield, visit
https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/jobs and search ‘Creative Economy Engagement
Fellow’. To apply for the posts at Leeds and York, visit their jobs pages
or contact the staff named above.



We hope to interview for all posts on 6th December 2017, and for successful
candidates to start as soon as possible in 2018.
