Applications are invited for a 0.5 FTE Project Manager to be linked with Bangor University for a period of two years. As a guide, the role will be working with the leads and members of six research hubs, which consists of both deaf and hearing researchers, as well as members of the Welsh deaf community. The Project Manager will be managed by the project’s Principal Investigator Dr Christopher Shank at Bangor University. We are particularly keen to recruit deaf British Sign Language (BSL) signers, especially those who live in Wales, to this post and we consider this post to be career- and experience-enhancing role for those who wish to develop their project management, data handling, communication and teamworking skills.

Candidates should be educated to PhD level or near completion (or have equivalent work/life experience to a similar level e.g. reports, engagement, and administration via evidence on a CV) in a relevant discipline to one or more of the project’s research hubs with experience in working with and/or communicating with deaf people who use a signed language. The ability to communicate in British Sign Language (minimum BSL Level 3 or a native signer) is a requirement.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible. The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post. This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. You will be home-based, but there will be a need to travel on occasion.
