We are delighted to welcome applications for a research post in the area of population forecasting and demographic modelling as part of the FuturePop project, funded by the Wellcome Trust. The new funding is a collaborative project between the University of Southampton and the University of Bristol.

The project is led by Dr Laurence Hawker and Prof. Andy Tatem and aims to produce high spatial resolution (100m grid cell) global age/sex-structured population estimates for multiple socio-economic scenarios. This project extends previous work conducted by the WorldPop and University of Bristol groups by incorporating spatially varying patterns between covariates and population size, as well as by quantifying uncertainty around estimates.

This post sits within a FuturePop work package focused on the production of subnational population projections by administrative geography. Estimates at high spatial resolution are produced by disaggregation of such estimates and projections, and thus the post forms a key part of the workflow in this area. In particular, the post-holder will develop probabilistic methodology to produce estimates and projections of the global population by subnational areas.

The work package is led by Dr Jason Hilton, Dr Laurence Hawker and Prof. Andy Tatem, and the research position will be based in the Department of Social Statistics and Demography, but the post holder will also need to develop strong working relationships with colleagues in the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences and at the University of Bristol.

Essential attributes for the role are: experience in statistical modelling; proficiency in the use of R, Python or other equivalent programming language; the ability to plan and organise work independently and as part of a team; and the ability to write research presentations and papers. Additionally, knowledge of demographic projection methods, knowledge of Bayesian statistical methods, and/or experience of working with geospatial data would be an advantage.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

The School of Economic, Social and Political Sciences is committed to promoting equality and diversity and holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award demonstrating this commitment. We strongly encourage applications from candidates from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, people who identify as LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and those from poorer/less educationally advantaged backgrounds.

As part of our commitment to supporting our research community we are open to flexible working. We give full consideration to applicants that wish to work flexibly including part-time and those who have taken a career break. We also are proud to recently have been awarded the Race quality Charter Bronze award, where we have been commended for our commitment to improve race equality across the University community.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Jason Hilton, email: J.D.Hilton@soton.ac.uk.

Interviews will take place in w/c 20th January

The position is available from 3rd February 2025, with the latest start date being the 1st June 2025

What skills and experience we're looking for

Crestwood Community School is one school, with two campuses serving central Eastleigh. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious Teacher of Design Technology to start September 2025. Design & Technology sits within the Technology Faculty. The Faculty pride themselves on having an innovative and forward thinking curriculum. Practical work is at the heart of everything and the Faculty’s vision centres on giving students the skills and experiences they need so that they can be successful in the wider world beyond school.

At Crestwood within KS3 Design and Technology we currently offer a range of specialisms such as Product Design, Textiles, Electronics, Graphics and Food. At KS4 we offer both a GCSE in Design and Technology and Food Preparation and Nutrition as well as the V Cert Level 1/2 in Food and Cookery. However, as an innovative and forward thinking team, we are always looking to develop new areas within the subject and at Key Stage 3 are always developing new projects. We are seeking any specialism.

We are looking for someone who can play an active role in contributing to the already high standards within the team. Design and Technology results are consistently strong and the course has a high uptake. You will be supported by a passionate and hands-on faculty leadership team; as well as experienced and dedicated teachers within that team.

This role would suit an experienced teacher or an ECT looking for their first post after qualifying.

For the successful candidate, a commitment to raising standards and a passion for developing young adults is essential: this entails a commitment to all learners, to excellence for all, and a belief that a good school makes a significant difference to learners’ life chances, levels of attainment and the wellbeing of the community as a whole.

What the school offers its staff

The Technology Faculty is a leading faculty across both campuses. The Achievement Leader of Technology is enthusiastic, highly experienced, hands-on and a highly supportive Head of Faculty. He is assisted by one equally passionate Assistant Achievement Leader, who is a Food specialist, together they have created an extremely motivated and enthusiastic Technology team who work well collaboratively to create an innovative, enriching and ever evolving curriculum.

In Key Stage 3, students currently have 60 minutes of Design & Technology time every week. These lessons take the form of ‘rotations’ throughout the year, so that all students get to experience all specialisms. In Key Stage 4, we currently offer GCSE Design & Technology - with students choosing between a Resistant Materials or Textiles specialism for their final NEA, and also GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, as option subjects. However, within our ethos to constantly find the most innovative and dynamic curriculum mix, we are always looking at the merits of new courses.

As a school we take staff well being seriously. We offer staff the following:

• wellbeing weeks, with no commitments scheduled after school
• free lunch every day
• free tea and coffee
• half termly cooked breakfasts
• accrued inset days, taken as twilights, giving staff an additional 4 days off a year
• One wellbeing day per year (during term-time), to be taken at their chosen time (after a qualifying period)
• weekly thank you bulletin
• birthday cards
• heads discretionary leaves of absence for family events
• acts of random kindness
• access to mental health first aiders

Our Ofsted report from February 2024 stated that at Crestwood “there is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere”. They also said that “teachers and support staff, including those in the early stages of their career, are proud to work at the school. They particularly value school leader's careful consideration of their workload and well-being so that they can focus their efforts fully on pupils’ education.” In addition, Ofsted report that “many pupils, staff and parents describe the school as a ‘big family’.

The Ofsted report states that “Leaders and governors are driven by a strong sense of moral purpose. They are ambitious for pupils’ futures and drive to provide the best opportunities for them. Staff share these aspirations and are loyal and committed”.

We care deeply about our school, the staff, the students and the community we serve, we are a school with a heart. We as a school are clear about our improvement agenda and we work cohesively as a school wide team. As this was our fifth consecutive “good” grading it demonstrates that at Crestwood we are continually providing a consistent quality in all we do, against a backdrop of tougher standards and criteria to be judged against.

We have enhanced our campuses significantly over the past few years. We have refurbished nearly all areas across the school. We have had a new crescent area and roof at Shakespeare which has enhanced the building significantly. The Cherbourg Campus is situated between the town’s two post-16 providers.

What skills and experience we're looking for

Crestwood Community School is one school, with two campuses serving central Eastleigh. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and ambitious person as a Teacher of English to start in September 2025. The English Faculty is an exceptionally upbeat, forward-thinking, and innovative department, which is cohesive, team-spirited and collaborative. We are looking for someone who can play an active role in contributing to the already high standards within the faculty, fostering an inquisitive approach to English and inspiring a love of reading.

The English Faculty is a leading faculty across both campuses. The faculty teaches both Language and Literature and follows AQA syllabus at KS4.

In English, students will have eight 60 minutes per fortnight. At Key Stage 3, they explore a wide range of topics focusing on a variety of themes over the three years. Within each theme, students study a breadth of texts ranging from Lightning Strike, Lord of the Flies and The Giver. All Key Stage 3 students also regularly visit the library and undertake ‘word study’ to unpick the morphology and etymology of key vocabulary. The faculty frequently take part in author and poet workshops to further broaden students’ exposure to a variety of texts. At Key Stage 4, students study Language and Literature through an interweaving curriculum, focusing on An Inspector Calls, Macbeth, poetry and A Christmas Carol as their GCSE set texts. Students are able to experience these texts through a range of extracurricular trips and visits as well as their study in the classroom.

This role would suit an experienced teacher or an ECT looking for their first post after qualifying.

For the successful candidate, a commitment to raising standards and a passion for developing young adults is essential: this entails a commitment to all learners, to excellence for all, and a belief that a good school makes a significant difference to learners’ life chances, levels of attainment and the wellbeing of the community as a whole.

What the school offers its staff

The English faculty is a key faculty across both campuses. We appointed two new Achievement Leaders earlier this academic year (following the promotion of the incumbent) who share the role and split this by Head of Key Stage 3 and Head of Key Stage 4. They are both enthusiastic, approachable and highly supportive. They work with the faculty to promote collaborative planning, enhance teaching and learning, and to drive up standards of achievement and attainment.

The faculty comprises two Achievement Leaders, working with an Assistant Achievement Leader, nine main scale teachers and two Assistant Headteachers. They are a cohesive team and have a strong commitment towards the highest standards of teaching and learning through a thematic, coherent and engaging curriculum.

As a school we take staff well being seriously. We offer staff the following:

• wellbeing weeks, with no commitments scheduled after school
• free lunch every day
• free tea and coffee
• half termly cooked breakfasts
• accrued inset days, taken as twilights, giving staff an additional 4 days off a year
• One wellbeing day per year (during term-time), to be taken at their chosen time (after a qualifying period)
• weekly thank you bulletin
• birthday cards
• heads discretionary leaves of absence for family events
• acts of random kindness
• access to mental health first aiders

Our Ofsted report from February 2024 stated that at Crestwood “there is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere”. They also said that “teachers and support staff, including those in the early stages of their career, are proud to work at the school. They particularly value school leader's careful consideration of their workload and well-being so that they can focus their efforts fully on pupils’ education.” In addition, Ofsted report that “many pupils, staff and parents describe the school as a ‘big family’.

The Ofsted report states that “Leaders and governors are driven by a strong sense of moral purpose. They are ambitious for pupils’ futures and drive to provide the best opportunities for them. Staff share these aspirations and are loyal and committed”.

We care deeply about our school, the staff, the students and the community we serve, we are a school with a heart. We as a school are clear about our improvement agenda and we work cohesively as a school wide team. As this was our fifth consecutive “good” grading it demonstrates that at Crestwood we are continually providing a consistent quality in all we do, against a backdrop of tougher standards and criteria to be judged against.

We have enhanced our campuses significantly over the past few years. We have refurbished nearly all areas across the school. We have had a new crescent area and roof at Shakespeare which has enhanced the building significantly. The Cherbourg Campus is situated between the town’s two post-16 providers. The site is well maintained with specialist facilities in excellent condition throughout, including 5 new Science rooms and refurbished Sports Hall. In totality we are a school continually on the up and have a can-do-more attitude.
