Research Fellow vacancy

Contribute to rural innovation in the South West

The Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI) is recruiting a Research Fellow to join its team as part of the National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise (NICRE).

The role at NICRE will involve working with a network of partners and businesses in the South West. It will include growing NICRE’s Innovation Portal through sourcing examples from, and research evidence for, rural enterprises and communities.

The position will also contribute to the new Horizon Europe project RUSTIK which aims to improve knowledge exchange between rural businesses and communities across Europe, working together with the CCRI’s partner Monmouthshire County Council. The successful candidate will lead a ‘Living Lab’ in Monmouthshire, exploring climate, demographic, and digital transitions in the county. 

Bringing together theory, research and practice

Bryonny Goodwin-Hawkins, NICRE Senior Research Fellow at the CCRI, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to work directly with partners in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, and bring together theory and practice to encourage new ways of thinking.

“It also offers the prospect to bridge research and practice and inform future policy. We’re keen to appoint someone who will be excited about unlocking the potential in our rural economies, and eager to get involved at a local level.”

Applications are invited from PhD-qualified candidates with experience and/or ambition to succeed in applied, policy-relevant research in rural economic development.

For more information and to apply, see here. The post is fixed-term until 31 August 2026 in line with the grant award.
