PART TIME & CONTRACT

November 29, 2024

Research Assistant, School Of Clinical Therapies, Part-Time post.

3 Months, Specific Purpose, Part -Time Post

Position Summary

Applications are invited for the role of Research Assistant within the School of Clinical Therapies.

Communication is a human right and fundamental to our identity and to having rich, meaningful participation in all aspects of life. Communication disability (for example, as experienced by people living with dementia and following a stroke) and difference (for example, the Traveller and Deaf communities) have been documented as risk factors for social exclusion in both North and South Ireland. This exclusion negatively impacts community participation, relationships, employability, and mental well-being. Therefore, there is a pressing need to address communication access issues across the island of Ireland.

Led by Dr Helen Kelly (University College Cork) and Dr Orla Duffy (University of Ulster), our research team includes experienced and internationally recognised researchers at University of Galway (Dr Ruth Mc Menamin), University of Limerick (Dr James Green, Dr Molly Manning, Dr Áine Kearns) and Trinity College Dublin (Dr Caroline Jagoe). Our research also partners with key third-party organisations including the Irish Heart Foundation, Stroke Association NI, The Alzheimer Society of Ireland, Alzheimer’s Society UK, Galway Travellers Movement, and Irish Deaf Society.

The successful candidate will be expected to make an outstanding contribution towards successfully meeting the goals and objectives of the project which include to:

Establish a novel collaborative and sustainable network across the five HEIs delivering Speech and Language Therapy programmes and key partners (PPI experts; partner representatives; policymakers) on the island of Ireland.
Identify barriers to social inclusion and participation in Ireland as experienced by people living with communication disability and differences, and,
Identify best-practice priorities with recommendations for delivering communication access rights and a roadmap for key implementation projects for people living with communication disabilities and differences on the island of Ireland.

The candidate should have excellent communication skills and a good command of the English language. They will be highly self-motivated with the ability to conduct independent research to a very high level.

Project Title: ENSPIRED – Enhancing Social Participation across Ireland for people with Communication Disabilities and differences

Post Duration: 3 Months, Part-Time, 0.4 FTE

Salary: €31,962 - €41,943 per annum, IUA RA Scale, pro rata 0.4 FTE
