04 August 2010: Senior Research Officers wanted to work on Prof. Miriam Glucksmann's ERC grant

Applications are invited for two European Research Council funded Senior Research Officer Posts in the Department of Sociology, to undertake research on the new field of consumption work. The positions have become available as part of Professor Miriam Glucksmann’s 3 year ERC Advanced Investigator Grant to undertake a programme of research on ‘Consumption Work and Societal Divisions of Labour’.

The main duties of the post-holders will be to undertake comparative research in one or more of the following empirical fields: domestic broadband installation; food preparation work; household recycling of waste; the household as a site for consumption work. The principal aim will be to explore the varying interface and interaction between the work of consumption and systems of provision in these different empirical domains and five comparator countries (UK, Sweden, France, Taiwan and Korea). The persons appointed will be expected to work independently, within the framework and objectives of the overall programme of research.
