Widening Participation Officer in Psychology

The Department of Psychology at the University of Bath has an established tradition of ‘theoretically informed applied psychology’. We have recently completed a significant expansion to a new purpose-built £30-million building, whilst driving forward impactful teaching and research.  The Department was ranked 1st for Psychology in The Guardian University Guide 2018, 2nd in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018, and 2nd in the Complete University Guide 2018.  

We have a strong ambition to diversify participation in our programmes. Working with the Director of Engagement in Psychology, Science Outreach Manager (Widening Participation Office), academic staff, and technicians, the postholder will support and develop outreach projects and activities to encourage under-represented groups to apply to Bath. This will include work on a number of University-wide programmes, such as On Track to Bath and the programme of summer residentials for Year 12 students, as well as activities for younger age groups. The postholder will be responsible for coordinating and delivering departmental outreach, while offering expertise in schools to support academic colleagues with planning and administering their events and projects.  

More information about the Department can be found at http://www.bath.ac.uk/psychology/.  Fifteen minutes from Bristol by train and 90 minutes from London and Oxford, the University is situated in the beautiful World Heritage City of Bath and is part of the Great Western Four group of Universities (with Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter). Bath is also a member of the Economic and Social Research Council South West Doctoral Training Centre.

Informal enquiries can be directed to the Director of Engagement in Psychology, Dr Janet Bultitude, [email protected]; +44 (0)1225 385514, or to the Head of Department, Professor Greg Maio, [email protected] +44 (0)1225 384647.  

Both the Department of Psychology and the University of Bath have a Bronze award from the Athena SWAN Charter Scheme. Both the Department and the University are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment.

An appointment to this vacancy will be made subject to Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) clearance being obtained.

Celebrations of Prince Charles’s 70th birthday featured much talk of succession and his 66 years of preparation to become king. But there was hardly any explicit reference to the death of the existing monarch as a requirement for that transition of power to take place.

Instead, the Queen’s future death was skirted around with reference to the “passing” of the monarch and more emphasis on logistics – how her son (and the public) will be informed, and the machinery that will grind behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace.

This approach is, I think, indicative of a general unease with talking about dying. It reflects what I call our “experiential poverty” when it comes to death.

Due to a continually ageing population, many in the UK are lacking in firsthand knowledge of what it is to deal with death. There is an ever growing number of people who have not cared for someone at the end of their life, seen someone die, organised a funeral, administered an estate, or experienced close bereavement.

Added to this is the fact that these days most dying occurs in institutions (more than two thirds of people in England and Wales died in either a hospital, care home or hospice in 2017). Funerals are arranged by funeral directors, wills are dealt with by solicitors. As a result, there are millions of people with little or no experience of what it means to manage bodies, emotions, processes and procedures at the end of a life.

Read more: Death matters – so why do the British hate talking about it?

Such a widespread lack of familiarity with death means that in the UK, people are ill prepared to deal with the end of life and its consequences. This is seen time and time again, in policy and media debates about increasing funeral costs and access to state support, living wills, assisted suicide and so on.

Culturally, economically and politically, the population lacks experience of, and engagement with death. And while there is no instant remedy for this experiential poverty, there are things we can put in place to ensure that it does not become a chronic, possibly insurmountable, social problem.

Crucially, the end of life needs to become an inter-generational and shared experience. It should not be left to the baby boomers to sort out their parent’s deaths. Rather, efforts should be made to include multiple generations in discussions about how to deal with dying, death and bereavement.

Such inclusion and involvement could help the transmission of ideas, knowledge and experience, building practice and customs that reflect changes within families and society more broadly over the past few decades.

Within families where there are multiple generations, adult children need to be involved in the care of their grandparents and the preparation for their deaths – as a preparation for the ends of their own parents’ lives. Older adults typically take on the responsibilities of managing the end of life as a way of protecting young generations from its realities. While admirable in intent, this simply means that a systemic lack of exposure to – and ill preparation for – dying and death continues.

Young adults should be encouraged to create pensions and wills to prepare for their later years and the end of their lives, despite the pressures of work, renting, home ownership and raising young families.

All those over 18 and able need to be directly schooled in dying, and in events and administration after the death of a loved one. Experiential learning will better prepare individuals for their own mortality, and help foster inter-generational relationships and potentially go some way to alleviating the social care time bomb.

This will expose disagreements and divergent practices between generations, helping individuals come together to make shared decisions about care, death, funerals and estate administration. It will respond to the current reliance (dependence) on bureaucrats and funeral directors to know what to do at the end of life. It could lead to more familial participation in palliative and end-of-life care.

For his part, Prince Charles appears well prepared for his mother’s demise, even if her death is not explicitly mentioned. Certainly it seems he is primed for taking on the role of sovereign when the time comes. Perhaps we could all learn from such as apprenticeship model when it comes to facing up to death and its consequences.

And I hope that the Duke of Cambridge, himself a king in waiting, has been involved in plans for commemoration and national mourning when his grandmother dies – so that he may learn for when the time comes for his own father’s death.

We are seeking to appoint a talented and committed individual to work with us part-time (0.7 FTE/25.5 hours per week) at the University of Bath. You will need to have the skills and experience to lead, manage, deliver and monitor a wide range of projects, activities and resources, to promote and embed extra-curricular statistics support and enhancement at the University of Bath.

You will need an appropriate level of qualification, together with the skills and experience necessary to lead and work in a student-facing academic support service and will be well-qualified to provide high quality statistics support to all students and staff at the university. You will have extensive experience of statistical and data analysis and the skills to use your expertise to enable others to carry out necessary data collection and/or relevant analysis. You will have experience of coordinating projects and staff (which could mean student interns or tutors) and of working effectively with colleagues from different academic and professional service areas. Suitable candidates will also have an interest in engaging with the wider statistics support community, for example through the sigma-network, and may have experience of securing funding to deliver development projects. 

MASH is the University of Bath mathematics resources centre which provides high quality mathematics and statistics support to all members of the university using a wide range of activities. This includes a statistics advisory service (SAS) which provides statistical guidance open to all students and staff undertaking project work. MASH is a flagship for academic skills support in the university and is highly regarded at the national level where it contributes significantly to the work of the sigma-network (http://www.sigma-network.ac.uk)

After spending many years staring at my master bathroom space and greatly disliking the finishes, the time has come to give the space a modern makeover. I’ve been living with broken and chipped tile that was never properly installed and a space containing not-so-exciting finishes. It’s functional but just not my style so this winter I’m giving my master bathroom a full renovation.

I’ll be partnering with Lowe’s on this project, and the demo on the bathroom starts next week. The first project will be installing new flooring, and I’ll have much to stay about that! The next project will be the cabinet and finish selections, then choosing the perfect neutral but not boring tile and designing an interesting installation. The final touches will be adding the sconces, faucets, mirrors, and shelving, and of course styling and photographing it for the final reveal.

I’m calling it my “transitional zen” bathroom remodel. I’m focused on classic elements like white tile and wood cabinets but it will have a relaxing hotel-ish vibe. This is the floor plan I’m working with, it’s a nice sized bathroom with room for free standing tub, separate toilet room, walk-in shower, double sink vanity and a prep/makeup vanity on the other side.

I’m a huge fan of the pairing of classic white tile and wood cabinets. Notice how in mostly white bathrooms, wood cabinetry adds the perfect amount of contrast and warmth to a bathroom space.

I really love large scale stack bond tile installations, I’ve noticed them in several hotel bathrooms I’ve stayed in. The bigger scale looks amazing in walk in showers. I’ll be doing the same in the shower and also including inset wall niches for shampoo, shower gel, etc.

I’ll be removing the existing built in tub and adding a free standing tub to the space instead as well as shelves to the walls above the tub for additional storage.

These are a few of the fixtures and finishes I’m considering for the space:

I’ll be documenting the process as it happens, from the demolition to the final result. The first step is the demo and installation of the new flooring, stay tuned for that post coming later this month!

The need to decarbonise society is becoming critical. This includes the built environment. This post is part of a very large grant of £36m made by the UK into designing and constructing buildings which produce more energy than they use. These next generation buildings are now starting to be built as demonstrators, yet it remains unknown if they can become the norm, what the limits are or what might be the best architecture and construction? This post will examine these limits from both a technical angle and a social/economic one. You will be required to carry out and economic analysis of the situation, hold focus groups and complete social surveys); discover the limits, then write a series of high quality journal papers. You will be joining a large team of researchers across the UK and the EDEn research group at Bath.

This post is one of two full time Research Associate roles for the Active Buildings Centre (ABC) and is being offered on a fixed term contract basis with an anticipated expiry date of 02 March 2022.  

Any informal enquiries about this position and CT6567 can be directed to Professor David Coley via e-mail [email protected]
