Offer Description
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position in conversational analysis is available, full-time, for a period of 15 months within the Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences. The post provides an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to join the £1million+ funded 'Moving Social Work' project as part of specific work packages called 'Physical Activity Social Work Champions' and 'Multiple-agency Physical Activity Promotion'. Working in partnership with Disability Rights UK, Moving Social Work is a co-produced programme of research that aims to embed physical activity advocacy with and for disabled people into the education, training, and routine practice of social work. We are seeking creative, high-quality researchers with a background in sport and exercise sciences, social work, health psychology, sociology, critical disability studies and/or other relevant disciplines/areas that can strike a balance between research, practice, and knowledge translation skills.
The successful applicant will create, evaluate, and implement a social work physical activity advocates programme and multiagency/interprofessional approach to physical activity promotion. This work has three core aims: to create and test training for social workers to train social work students and professionals in advocating physical activity to and with disabled people; to produce and evaluate research that identifies how social care and health professionals can effectively work with each other to coordinate and promote physical activity; with the research manager, to build and support a network of trained social work physical activity champions to maintain quality training, multiagency/interprofessional working, and the uptake of training.
