The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) wishes to appoint two Postdoctoral Research Fellows on a three-year fixed term basis to work on welfare related issues. The programme of research will include examining issues around workplace culture and attitudes, welfare, careers and work practices. The post also entails an adjunct position at Trinity College Dublin. The successful candidates will work on a diversity of projects, using quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method research approaches. They will join a multi-disciplinary team across the ESRI of sociologists, psychologists, economists, neuroscientists, and statisticians.  Applications are welcome from researchers across any subject discipline (including sociology, social policy, psychology, economics, etc.), but with a strong record in skills associated with field-based, qualitative, and quantitative, empirical research.
