Role Description
Department
The School for Business and Society is the largest academic unit at the University of York. Housed in the Church Lane Building, this cutting-edge merger between the York Management School and Social Policy and Social Work Department brings together the work of almost 300 academic and professional support staff.
The School wishes to recruit a Spanish-speaking Research Associate with excellent qualitative research skills and experience of conducting independent or collaborative research, to work on a newly funded Horizon Europe project on Drug Market-Related Harm: the PRISM project. This post will be for 2 years and 3 months,
starting in October 2026 and finishing in December 2028 (100% FTE over 1/10/26 to 30/6/28; and 50% FTE over 1/7/28 to 31/12/28). Flexible working arrangements will be considered. You will work closely with principal investigator, Professor Charlie Loyd, and PRISM partners.
Role
This role will consist of three main areas of work: undertaking a literature review on what is known about drug market-related violence (DMRV) and responses to it, drawing on the international research base and relevant European reports; undertaking intensive fieldwork in Barcelona and contributing to other fieldwork where required; and contributing to the evaluation of a tool that is being created by project partners to guide cities in preventing DMRV. The Research Associate will also contribute to analysis, writing and dissemination across these areas of work and participate in PRISM meetings and contribute to other PRISM-related work as needed.
