We are looking for a Research assistant to join a new research project, “From Evidence to Action: Developing Cross‑Sector Partnerships to Safeguard Neurodivergent Young People in Gamified Digital Environments”, funded through the UKRI Gambling Harms Research and Innovation Partnerships scheme and led by Constantina Panourgia (PI) and Elvira Bolat (Co‑PI), with Emily Arden‑Close and Marina Kilintari as Co‑Investigators. This project partners with Ygam and Work’n'Diversity to establish a sustainable partnership bringing together neurodivergent children and young people (CYP), their families, educators, clinicians, researchers, charities and policymakers. It will explore how digital environments—particularly where gaming and gambling intersect—shape vulnerability and resilience, and how effectively current support systems respond.
The postholder will support key stages of the research project, including conducting a scoping review of grey literature, assisting with the planning and facilitation of focus groups, supporting qualitative data analysis, and contributing to the organisation of a project symposium.
This position is open to Bournemouth University staff and agency staff currently working at Bournemouth University only.
For further information about the position, please contact Dr. Constantina Panourgia at cpanourgia@bournemouth.ac.uk.
