The Department of Management at Kingston Business School invites applications from highly-qualified individuals for the position of Research Assistant to collaborate with Dr. Sarah Otner on a portfolio of research activity about the fragrance industry.

The project involves the design and delivery of multi-national, archival (i.e., secondary) data collection that will allow PI to build a structured database with information about fragrance industry awards (specifically) and creative industry careers (generally).

The role will appeal to applicants with ambitions to pursue research-intensive careers; it is similar in content and structure to a “pre-doctoral fellowship”. If interested and appropriate, the successful candidate will be supported to apply both for admission to doctoral studies (i.e., Business Ph.D. degree programme) and for any relevant funding opportunities (including Kingston University’s Ph.D. Studentships, deadline annually each March for study starting the following October).

This is a part-time position (0.6 FTE), available immediately for a fixed-term duration until 31 July 2024 subject to funding availability.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, until the closing date of 18th June and interviews are expected to be held on 13 July 2023.
