Abstract

The purpose of this four-year research project is to investigate the implications of the diversification of the academic workforce in the UK and to indicate how higher education institutions might plan strategically for their future staffing needs, and how sector bodies could support this. Through the study, we aim to develop a deeper understanding of the roles and career trajectories of staff in UK higher education who are involved in academic work. This focuses on those with conventional (i.e. teaching and research) roles and more recent forms of academic contract (e.g. teaching and scholarship). However, it also includes those performing academic roles (for example, in learning support, online learning, widening participation and recruitment) who do not have academic contracts. This concept paper aims to situate this research in the relevant literature, outlines some of the conceptual frameworks we are employing, describes the research design that flows from these and indicates some of the project outputs and planned outcomes. A companion review of recent literature (2013-16) is included as an appendix.
