We are currently looking for researchers and those working with research-related roles to contribute to a culture change project that will seek to enhance inclusivity, diversity, and equality in research at Coventry University. The research base is increasingly diverse, yet a number of recent research articles and reports have highlighted issues of equality and inclusion remain (European Commission 2016, AdvanceHE 2018, Rollock 2018.)
The Team will be responsible for undertaking research, reviewing policy and best practice, developing an action plan, and supporting the delivery of the action plan in the area of inclusivity, diversity, and equality in research across all protected characterstics, as well as caring responsbilities and others the group deem worthy of investigation.
Participating in the project will give you access to range of developmental opportunities, including cross-disciplinary teamwork, research leadership, co-authoring publications, designing and delivering developmental and support initiatives, policy analysis and review, applying for relevant funding, producing reports, papers, business cases, and action plans; and attending national training and development programmes.
The level of commitment in terms of time can be adapted to suit personal interest and professional development. It is expected, though, that all project team members dedicate a minimum of 2 days per month.
To apply to join the Project Team, please complete this short application form.
