    The Research Associate will work closely with faculty primarily on research projects focused on the psychology of technology, implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizations and society, new ways of working, and/or the overlap of creativity and ethics. Successful candidates will have significant experience in theory development, experimental and survey research, and/or mixed methods research, and are expected to advance a number of research projects from conceptualization through publication. A portion of time will be devoted to collaborating with faculty with an understanding that effort will also be directed at independent research.

Experience or strong interest in qualitative or mixed-methods research is desirable. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to manage and track multiple research projects and collaborate with colleagues. Strong written communication skills are needed. Knowledge of online research platforms-i.e., Qualtrics, Amazon Mechanical Turk,  and Prolific Academic-as well as statistical software programs such as SPSS, R, or others is strongly desired.

    -- Apologies for cross-posting and please circulate widely -- 

    Dear all, 

    registration for our public talk and panel event with the IHSS Distinguished Visiting Fellow Professor Ellen Ernst Kossek is now open. I would be grateful if you would share the Eventbrite and circulate widely. 

    This is a hybrid event, and you can attend online or in person.

    What We Have Learned about Implementing Flexible Working: Moving to the Future 
    What We Have Learned about Implementing Flexible Working: Moving to the Future

    Public talk and Panel event followed by drinks reception  

    April 26th 2023  

    4.30-6pm  

     

    Location: David Seizer Lecture Theatre, Bancroft Building, Queen Mary, University of London, E1 4NS (nearest underground Mile End)  

     

    UK workers are being called back in the office by companies worried about productivity losses and slack. At the same time, of the 61 companies participating in a four-day working week trial, over 90% have chosen to continue.  

     

    What works and what doesn't when it comes to flexible working? And how can employers implement flexible working policies that work for all?  

      

    Join us for a keynote speech by our Distinguished Visiting Fellow Professor Ellen Ernst Kossek (Purdue University, USA) after which our expert panel will explore questions such as:  

     

    • Which flexible working practices work and which do not?  
    • Can flexible working be exploitative? What pitfalls do workers and employers need to watch out for?  
    • What is the evidence for and against flexible working? Are employers right to call staff back to the office?  
    • And what lessons have been learned from the Covid-19 pandemic for working parents and carers and their line managers?   

     

    Our expert panel includes:  


    Professor Ellen Ernst Kossek, IHSS Distinguished Visiting Fellow. She is the Basil S. Turner Distinguished Professor at Purdue University's Krannert School of Management. She is one of the leading researchers in the U.S. and internationally on work and family policies and gender equality.

    Professor Heejung Chung is a labour market and welfare state researcher and Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Kent. She has written extensively on work-life balance, flexible working, worker well-being and gender inequality from a comparative perspective and is the author of the book 'The Flexibility Paradox: Why Flexible Working Leads to (Self-) Exploitation' which was published by Policy Press in 2022. She has worked on several funded projects on flexible working including the ESRC Future Research Leader Award "Work Autonomy, Flexibility and work-life balance". Currently her projects include work with the TUC on BAME workers' experience of flexible working, and a H2020 project exploring cross-national differences in flexibility stigma. 


    Dr Maria Adamson is a Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies and Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity (CRED).
