About the Role

You will be welcomed as Research Associate in the team of the MoonRISE project, an interdisciplinary research project funded by UKRI, investigating the cultural, scientific and environmental factors that determine what can be considered as sites of interest on the Moon. It also examines the governance and ethical implications of defining sites of interest for different communities and cultures. You would be based within the Law School to undertake research on Lunar governance, in close collaboration with members of the team.

About MoonRISE

MoonRISE is a project funded by UKRI that researches the effective governance of sites of cultural, scientific and environmental interest on the Moon. The project team spans three Faculties: The Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the Faculty of Business and Law, and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.  The project builds upon the work of AstrobiologyOU, which looks at the scientific, ethical and governance challenges associated with Astrobiology.

About AstrobiologyOU

AstrobiologyOU is an interdisciplinary research group addressing the scientific, ethical and governance challenges associated with the advancement of astrobiology and related space exploration missions. It spans three Faculties: The Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the Faculty of Business and Law, and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, bringing together 60 members with expertise in science, international development and governance.  The Group’s activities are supported by funding from UK Research councils, The UK Space Agency, The European Space Agency, and commercial activities, and has grown to its current strengths through a £7.4 million investment from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England scheme.

About the Unit

The Faculty of Business and Law is one of the four faculties of The Open University. It brings together two Schools – The Open University Business School and The Open University Law School – and has a strong reputation as a high-quality and innovative provider of management and legal education.  Our courses and qualifications are studied by a wide range of people from all backgrounds – we are proud to promote opportunity and social justice by making higher education open to those unable to attend a more traditional campus-based university.

Student satisfaction is a high priority, and we are determined to deliver the best outcomes for everyone studying with us. Our students return some of the highest satisfaction scores in the National Student Survey – they have ever since the NSS began.

Around 35,000 students are currently enrolled on our business, management and law programmes; about quarter of them are based outside the UK in 80 countries. The majority of our students are employed and study part-time with us.

The Open University Business School is triple accredited (AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS). Our internationally recognised teaching and learning methods take education right to the heart of leadership and management practice.
