[lg policy] Fwd: New posts at the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research, Sheffield Hallam University

[Dave Sayers]

Interesting jobs for those looking to apply research skills beyond linguistics. CRESR 
is a research group that mainly does research to contract, for various government and 
non-government organisations. They're very good but it's not a typical 'academic' 
job, insofar as they mainly do research guided by those contracts rather than 
entirely their own ideas. There is still a lot of creativity and autonomy within 
their work though, and in terms of 'impact' they are very strong. Good that they're 
offering permanent work too.

Contact details as below (not me!).

Apologies for cross posting.

We are looking to appoint two new posts in the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR) at Sheffield Hallam University.  We are open to applicants from a range of methodological or policy perspectives which fit with the portfolio of research projects undertaken by CRESR.  Unlike many Universities we appoint research staff on permanent contracts and these posts offer a good opportunity for applicants wishing to begin or further develop their research career. Please see details of the two posts below and forward to anyone who may be interested.  Fuller details of the posts can be found by following the links below.

Thanks
Tina
