What change is necessary to support healthy creative engaged research?

‘Developing Healthy Research’ is a project funded by the Research England Enhancing Research Culture Fund at the University of Leeds aiming to find solutions to this question. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a project responding to calls from both the archival sector and the creative industries to develop trauma-informed approaches and embed therapeutic support in engaged research practices.

We are looking for a project assistant to support the delivery of this project. You will be part of a team including colleagues from the School of History and University Library as well as creative practitioners working outside the University. The project’s goal is to produce resources to enable engaged research leaders to develop impact strategies and implementation plans that incorporate well-being support for everyone who is involved in the research process.

The post-holder will work to a maximum of 125 hours. Specific periods of work will be determined by the Project Lead in accordance with the needs of the project.
