Postdoctoral Research Assistant
About the Role
As part of a three-year Leverhulme Project Grant entitled ‘Menopause in UK public discourse: visibility, content, factors and implications’, with Professor Catherine Rottenberg (PI) and Professor Shani Orgad (London School of Economics, Co-I), the Department is looking to appoint a 2-year fixed-term 0.8 FTE postdoctoral research assistant. Investigating media, political, policy and medical discourses, sociodemographic changes and market data, this interdisciplinary project is the first to 1) investigate the framing of menopause in UK public discourse (2002-2022); 2) uncover key factors contributing to menopause’s growing visibility and current framing(s); and 3) explore the implications of our current ‘menopause moment’.
