Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa Neptune Full time

In a rapidly evolving world, the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) remains committed to delivering 'social science that makes a difference'. Our Research Divisions, Units, Institutes, and Centres are dedicated to policy-oriented research from offices in various locations. Our public purpose mandate is set out in the Human Sciences Research Council Act of 2008.

The Equitable Education and Economies (EEE) division focuses on research that transforms educational outcomes and increases economic participation. Recognising the long-standing link between education and the economy, we conduct research to understand educational performance and improve learning outcomes, as well as to interrogate social, spatial, and structural obstacles to economic participation.

Our current project, u'Good?, aims to test and further develop relational approaches to wellbeing; generate empirical insights into key contemporary challenges to young people's wellbeing; and explore how they address these issues in relation to livelihoods, climate change, digitalisation, and mental health.

We acknowledge the significance of young people in this programme and strive to incorporate their voices and lived experiences at both programme and research project levels. As a multi-country programme, we understand the challenges of contextual and language diversity in meaningful partnership and collaboration with young people.

We seek an innovative Youth Engagement and Inclusion Specialist who can work closely with our Youth Steering Committee to support the research programme. This will be a freelancer position over a period of four years, requiring the successful incumbent to be available from January 2025 onwards.
