Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong.

You will be educated to PhD/Doctoral level (or close to completing) in a relevant discipline with the ability to take a lead role in research projects. Knowledge of issues relating to the equity and inclusion, digital inclusion, and/or the health and wellbeing of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities is essential.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join LJMU in our bicentenary year and with the launch of our new strategic plan. 

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
