Department of Anthropology

You will join a dynamic Anthropology department offering a range of undergraduate and post-graduate programs in an institution specializing in the social sciences, arts and humanities. The Department has an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research as demonstrated in the results of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework. We are committed to creative, critical and publicly engaged anthropology and seek through positive action to diversify our staff, students and curriculum, repair and create new routes into learning across all levels for those who continue to experience obstacles to participation and to establish and enable more equitable forms of research and collaboration.
Summary:
This is a 5 -month Research Assistant job on the Goldsmiths collaborative project ‘Profiling Inside Out: Surveillance, Resistance, Collaboration,’ which runs until 31 July 2023. The Research Assistant will join an international, cross-disciplinary team of academic and non-academic researchers working on a public engagement project on ‘racial profiling’ in Italy and the UK, defined as the use in police work of generalisations based on race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. Working with community groups in Italy and the UK, the project collates first hand experiences of policing, sets up spaces for collaborative knowledge exchange across national and generational lines, and develops a community plan of action for safe policing. The Research Assistant will be supporting the daily administrative and intellectual running of the project, working closely with the project lead, Dr Alice Elliot. Candidates with an interest in social justice, collaborative research, and project management are encouraged to apply.
