Project Description

The Digital Good Network is an ESRC-funded research network which asks what a good digital society looks like and how we get there. It supports a range of research projects, development opportunities, and impact and engagement activities.

We are currently in the process of co-designing, testing and iterating the Digital Good Index, with a range of partners and stakeholders who are keen to ensure that they develop, procure, deploy and govern technology in ways that benefit people and society. We are looking for a Research Assistant to implement a co-design protocol, developed by the DGI working group, with one partner or stakeholder organisation, with support and oversight from our DGI postdoctoral researcher, to help us iterate and improve the DGI.

Expected duties will include:

• Administer the research (e.g. setting up meetings with contact person at stakeholder organisation)
• Implement DGI co-design protocol
• Carry out interviews with relevant people at the stakeholder organisation, including target users of the stakeholder’s technology
• Archive research data according to FAIR principles
• Analyse research data from co-design and interviews
• Produce a) a report for the stakeholder and b) a report for DGN
• Contribute to writing a journal article about DGI co-design if appropriate

Please note this opportunity has been advertised across multiple Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs).
