Warwick - Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies

*About the Roles *

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM) is a world-class
interdisciplinary research centre with a wide-ranging portfolio of Masters
programmes. In both research and education, we proactively engage with
pressing contemporary concerns with new methodological thinking. We are
experts in the scientific, interpretive, creative and participatory methods
that allow us to address today’s most urgent challenges, from AI to digital
infrastructures to climate change. We understand impact as being about
making interventions, whether they be in policy, public understanding or
bringing about change through action research.

We are excited to say that we are starting a new phase of growth. As we
plan for the future, we will be making multiple new appointments in one or
more of the following fields:

   1. AI and society, including ethics and governance
   2. digital media and/or digital methods
   3. environment, ecology and sustainability
   4. digital health and society.

Interest in design, speculative or aesthetic methodologies, and statistical
and computational approaches to these fields is welcomed. Equally important
is a concern with addressing the social inequalities of race, gender,
sexual orientation, age or disability. We would welcome candidates who have
experience working in the Global South, particularly East and Southeast
Asia.

*About You *

You will need to show that you have a promising or established track record
of internationally recognized interdisciplinary research and experience in
the design and delivery of interdisciplinary teaching. You should have an
interest in or be able to demonstrate a track record in mobilizing funding
and using research to deliver impact. You will be enthusiastic about
teaching students from a wide variety of backgrounds in arts and
humanities, sciences, social sciences and computer science and be able to
contribute to teaching on one or more of our established Masters’
programmes.

You will have an interest in one or more of our research themes, as well as
the interest, capability and motivation to develop your own research
profile and apply for research funding from a wide variety of funding
bodies. See, for example, some of our past and current projects. You will
be able to play a significant role in the development of teaching
programmes in the Centre as well as attracting and supervising PhD students.

At CIM, we are committed to continuously improving our efforts in building
and sustaining an inclusive and equitable working and learning environment
for students and all staff. We believe that every member of our team
enriches our diversity by exposing us to a broad range of ways of
understanding the world. We welcome candidates from underrepresented
groups, including from the Global South.
