Queen’s University Belfast is proud of its reputation as a leader in the field of gender equality and currently holds an Institutional Athena SWAN Silver Award. It is a University strategic target that we continue to progress our SWAN programme at Institutional and School level. The University is a member of the Race Equality Charter (REC) and has also committed to securing a REC award. Both SWAN and REC rely heavily on data analysis to inform evidence-based actions, monitor progress and demonstrate impact.
This role seeks to make meaningful efficiencies and synergies across both the SWAN and REC agendas and programmes of work. In leading on aspects of the University’s EDI agenda, SWAN and REC will benefit from having a small but visible dedicated and specialist team working across two Charters at Institutional level.
Athena SWAN and REC are nationally recognised Charter marks awarded within Higher Education. Charters are awarded to universities who can demonstrate their commitment to gender equality (SWAN) and race equality (REC) and, in particular, to the promotion of women’s careers (and men’s in disciplines where they are currently under-represented)(SWAN) and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds (REC).
Working in a small team, the successful applicant will play a key part in realising the University’s strategic ambitions in respect of Queen’s Gender Initiative, SWAN and REC. The post will undertake both the Institutional application data analysis requirements for SWAN and REC and, as appropriate, provide support to Schools in respect of SWAN.
This role seeks to make meaningful efficiencies and synergies across both the SWAN and REC agendas and programmes of work.

This position is available until 1 November 2023.
