Applicant Eligibility
This opportunity is only accepting applications from Postgraduate Researchers who began receiving funding from the White Rose DTP in or after Autumn 2024 to undertake a Research in Practice (RinP) placement as part of their studentship.
Project Description
The York Graduate Research School (YGRS) connects more than 2,000 postgraduate researchers (PGRs) across all disciplines and brings together the support PGRs need to make the most of their research project.
In supporting a diverse range of PGRs, YGRS is seeking to better understand the University’s commuting researchers; and to understand the housing requirements and choices of all their PGRs (except for distance learners).
They are looking for a Project Coordinator to focus on data collection and analysis of their PGRs’ commuting and housing preferences, choices and behaviour. As well as collecting and understanding the raw data of the researchers, they are looking to understand the decisions which lead to PGRs commuting; primarily if this is a desirable or forced situation for researchers. They also want to understand PGRs’ housing preferences, choices and constraints, both for those who live in York and elsewhere.
Expected duties will include:
- Desk-based research on commuter and non-commuter non-distance learning research students at the University of York
- Conducting a survey of research students at the University of York about commuting and housing preferences, choices and constraints
- Analysis of data from both the above mentioned survey and from existing student data
- Write papers and reports as required
