The University of Surrey is a global university with a world-class research profile and an enterprising and forward-thinking spirit, committed to research and innovation excellence and to benefitting the economy, society and the environment. Our researchers practise their excellence against the backdrop of our broad spectrum of technological, human, health and social sciences, and their uncommonly strong linkages forged in an integrated campus culture of cooperation.
The role
The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) is dedicated to cutting-edge research, scholarship and teaching in translation, interpreting and other forms of inter- and intra-lingual communication. Since our foundation in 1982, we have contributed to the theoretical advancement of translation and interpreting studies, whilst achieving real-world applicability by studying translation and interpreting as socio-technological practices, highlighting their economic and social value and their role as an enabling force for a globally connected world.
Applications are invited for a Research Assistant position. This is a fixed-term part-time post up to 30 June 2025 but there is a possibility to extend if external research funding can be secured.
CTS is engaged in a range of research projects at the intersection of translation/interpreting, technology and society. One of our current interdisciplinary projects focuses on improving mental health communication for migrant populations. Recognising the critical role of language and cultural mediation in healthcare access and outcomes, our project explores how translation and interpreting practices can be enhanced to better support migrants experiencing mental health challenges. Through empirical research and stakeholder engagement, we have developed evidence-based strategies that foster effective cross-lingual communication in mental health settings. This work will contribute to broader efforts in promoting health equity and social justice through linguistically and culturally informed approaches.
About You
The successful candidate will have expertise in one or more of CTS’s main research areas, the reporting and dissemination of research findings and creating research impact. They will have evidence of effective spoken and written communication skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary research team.
