Job Opportunity: Student Researcher
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for Student Researchers based in United Kingdom.
This role offers students the opportunity to contribute to research supporting racial, social, and economic justice across Europe. You’ll work on research that can inform strategic litigation, community engagement, and approaches to challenging structural inequalities. Assignments may cover legal systems, case law, regulations, litigation opportunities, and innovative models of movement lawyering. You’ll receive guidance and feedback while developing research outputs that are clear, structured, and useful to a mission-driven team. The work is remote, flexible, and organised around research needs as they arise. It is particularly suited to students who combine strong analytical and writing skills with a genuine interest in justice-focused legal work.
Accountabilities
- Conduct legal and other research supporting initiatives focused on racial, social, and economic justice.
- Map opportunities and barriers to bringing cases addressing racial, social, and economic justice issues across Europe.
- Research and analyse relevant laws, regulations, jurisprudence, and legal developments that may inform strategic litigation.
- Research case management solutions and approaches that could support effective litigation work.
- Collect, analyse, and summarise information on effective models for movement lawyering and communities of practice.
- Present research findings and outputs in clear, comprehensive, and structured formats.
- Work with the team to clarify research questions, establish appropriate methodologies, and determine effective formats for research outputs.
- Complete assignments according to mutually agreed timelines, with tasks allocated on an ad hoc basis according to organisational needs.
- Incorporate feedback and guidance to strengthen the quality, relevance, and accessibility of research.
