We are seeking to recruit a Project Support Technician for the Research Centre in the Futures of Education in the Digital Age (UOC-FuturEd), part of the UOC's Edul@b research group.
The project's main objective is to ensure the wellbeing of students and educators in digital education environments. This policy experimentation project was created to address the lack of understanding, strategy, and institutional coordination in this field. Through research, evaluation, and policy mapping regarding digital wellbeing, we gather scientific evidence, design solutions, and conduct experiments to refine and implement systemic policy changes. Thus, the project defines the Digital Wellbeing Framework, which integrates: Person-specific factors, including digital skills and health considerations; Context-specific factors, involving the educational environment, learning design, and school culture; Device-specific factors, relating to the types of digital devices and best practices for safe and balanced use.
Responsibilities
- Addressing the needs of the project's data collection pilot implementation.
The contract will be fixed-term until February 2028, on a part-time basis (50%). We will agree upon a start date once the recruitment process is completed.
