Crynodeb
The Hydra Research and Innovation Centre (HRIC) is the only Hydra research centre globally combining interdisciplinary research to improve lives using innovative immersive tools.
Our work with Hydra has traditionally focused on using immersive methods to aid teaching and learning. The HRIC aims to provide evidence based research using hydra tools to inform future decision making across various sectors with an initial focus on cultural leadership within emergency services and other organisations.
The purpose of this Research Assistant position is to support the general research activities of the HRIC. The role is positioned to undertake supervised research projects and provide support for researchers and research teams as required. Part of this role will involve providing technical support for Hydra immersive exercises (Hydra accredited training and development will be provided).
The successful candidate will be expected to work with a range of partners from all sectors to support research across a range of largely public sector organisations working within our themes of:
• Critical decision-making across organisations (Hydra Methodology)
• Culturally sensitive leadership and practice
The role is positioned to support research across all themes within the HRIC. Specifically, you will work concurrently across multiple contract research projects to support delivery of the HCRIC Research Strategy and USW Research Strategy 2030.
For an informal conversation about this post please contact Dr Gina Dolan (gina.dolan@southwales.ac.uk) or Claire Parmenter (Claire.Parmenter@southwales.ac.uk).
If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the USW (or you are currently employed by PSS Ltd), you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and Colleges.
