Research Assistant on the Cartographies of Cancer in Africa
The Department of Global Health & Social Medicine, King's College
London, is seeking a Research Assistant for a British Academy-funded
research project on epidemiological efforts to map cancer in
sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, drawing on insights from science and
technology studies, the project examines the socio-technical
infrastructures and political rationales that underpin these efforts
as well as the understandings of cancer and Africa that they help
bring into being. The post holder will help the principal investigator
carry out the archival and ethnographic research for this project. In
particular, the post-holder will do some archival work in a few sites
across London and carry out a one-month ethnographic study of the
Kenyan National Cancer Registry in Nairobi. The post holder will also
help with the data analysis as well as the writing up and publication
of results.
The appointed person will have an undergraduate and a Masters degree
in the social sciences or humanities. The post would especially suit
someone currently doing a PhD in the social sciences or humanities.
The appointed person will have a knowledge of qualitative social
science research methods and some experience of doing research on
health and/or development. Archival and/or ethnographic research
skills as well as experience of working in Africa would be an
advantage. A prior knowledge of and interest in the
anthropology/geography of global health, science and technology
studies and/or international development would be welcome but not
required. The appointed person will also have excellent organisational
skills, a strong ability to communicate and the aptitude to think
critically.
The post can be carried out on a full-time (100%) or part-time (50%)
basis. This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 8 months
(full-time) or 16 months (part-time). Grade and salary: grade 5, spine
point 26, £33,546 per annum, inclusive of £3,500 London Allowance per
annum. Closing date to apply: 17 November 2019. Interviews will be
held in late November. For more information, please contact Dr David
