The Role
Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on the ‘Data Stories: Telling Stories About and With Planning and Property Data’ project funded through an ERC Advanced award to Professor Rob Kitchin. The postdoctoral researcher will work on phase 1 and 2 of the project and will principally undertake the research for four case studies, including their preparation, fieldwork, analysis, and creation of their associated data stories, including coordination with the assigned creative writer/artist, as well as aiding the organisation of exhibitions, and archiving and documenting the project. They will have experience of examining and handling administrative datasets, using a variety of qualitative methods, and preferably familiarity with creative and artistic methods.
The successful candidate will have research experience related to Human Geography, Urban Studies, Planning, Sociology, Critical Data Studies, or Science and Technology Studies, or related disciplines.
