Instituto Superior Politécnico de Soyo

Instituto Superior Politécnico de Soyo was formed in 2011. It is located in the city of Soyo, close to the mouth of the river Congo in Angola’s northern border state of Zaire. 
It operates from two sites. There is the smaller 1 de Maio city centre site’s convenience for students while the larger Kitombi site hosts its computer rooms and laboratories.
The intention is to create capacity for 5,000 students, with 40 new classrooms and 18 laboratories enabling the creation of further extension classes along with courses in petroleum, agri-food engineering and clinical analysis as well as residences for staff and students.
There is a Faculty of Engineering with programmes in computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial and maintenance engineering, along with the Education Department’s options of primary teaching and mathematics teaching.

About us

​​Working as part of a world-class academic team based in the Department of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), the successful candidate will play a central role in the delivery of a high-profile collaborative research project funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).​

About the role

Applications are invited from highly motivated and talented candidates for a position of Post-Doctoral Research Associate to work on an NIHR-funded project evaluating Care (Education) and Treatment Reviews (C(E)TRs) for people with a learning disability and autistic people (the OptiCaT project). C(E)TRs were introduced in 2015 as a key intervention in ensuring that people with a learning disability or who are autistic receive the right support in the community and do not spend too long in hospital, if they are admitted. The impact of C(E)TRs on clinical and other outcomes has not been extensively studied.

The OptiCaT research programme takes a mixed methods approach. The successful applicant will have a key role in the qualitative work package which aims to understand multi-stakeholder perspectives of the C(E)TR process and how this may be improved. This will include participant recruitment through various means, data acquisition (primarily through individual semi-structured interviews), data analysis, and working with the research team and PPI co-researchers to interpret the data and disseminate findings.

In addition, the successful applicant will work with the team to deliver a prospective study within NHS services that investigates the current use and impact of C(E)TRs amongst children and adults with a learning disability or who are autistic. This will include recruitment activities, liaison with study sites, and conducting baseline and follow-up participant assessments. The post-holder will be supported in these tasks by the wider research team and Clinical Studies Officers.

This is a full-time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered ​a fixed term​ contract until February 2028. The role will be based at the main IoPPN building at the Denmark Hill campus of KCL.

About Us

King’s College London is one of the UK’s leading research universities, renowned for its commitment to academic excellence and societal impact. The African Leadership Centre (ALC) is a dynamic unit based within the King’s School of Global Affairs (SGA) that delivers postgraduate teaching, doctoral training and academic research. The ALC focuses on the intellectual study of leadership within the fields of development, peacebuilding and security with attention to Global South contexts. It also works on pressing global challenges including climate change, sustainability, and governance. The Centre is committed to building a community of thought, policy and practice leaders and spaces for critical intellectual dialogues, debates and knowledge creation on its themes of focus. The ALC also has a base in Africa, with a sister Centre that is in Nairobi. This postdoctoral role is part of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship on justice in critical minerals governance across Australia, Chile and Ghana led by Dr Clement Sefa-Nyarko.

About The Role

This role will support the methodological development of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship – Justice in Critical Minerals Governance and Energy Transitions – focusing on Hermeneutical Ethnography, Visual Embodiment Methodologies, and participatory research approaches.

The project addresses the urgent need to understand and integrate justice into global energy transitions, particularly in the governance of critical minerals. The project responds to deep contestations over the meaning and purpose of justice in the shift to net zero emissions, which have led to policy gaps, community grievances, and disruptions in global supply chains. At its core is a pioneering methodology – Hermeneutical Ethnography – which enables the collection, co-creation, and interpretation of verbal and non-verbal expressions, including silences, symbols, and stories. This approach facilitates a deeper exchange of meaning between communities and researchers, allowing aspirations and lived experiences to shape justice frameworks that are both empirical and conceptual. The project will apply this methodology in mining communities across Ghana, Chile, and Australia, focusing on Lithium and other critical minerals essential for clean technologies. By capturing the voices and silences of those most affected by extractive industries, the project aims to build a bottom-up, data-driven framework for justice that informs national policies and global climate agendas. It will explore how environmental degradation, livelihood loss, and socio-political tensions can be mitigated through inclusive governance and strategic partnerships. Ultimately, the overarching Fellowship seeks to elevate justice to the same level of urgency as scientific and technological innovation in climate action. It will generate distinctive empirical data and foster interdisciplinary expertise, ensuring that the post-2030 UN Sustainable Development Agenda fully accounts for justice in energy transitions.

The postholder will work within the African Leadership Centre, Global Institutes, School of Global Affairs at King’s College London, contributing to the design and implementation of this bottom-up knowledge systems that centre community voices and silences in critical minerals governance. The role involves collaboration with international partners in Ghana, Chile, and Australia, and supports training and mentoring of a small research staff across the project. The postholder is responsible for developing and refining research methodology, training research staff, and supporting interdisciplinary collaboration. The postholder will work in collaboration with Dr Sefa-Nyarko and the wider Fellowship team and partner institutions.

This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered a fixed term contract for 3 years, but starting off with an initial one year contract renewable for up to the 3 years.

Research staff at King’s are entitled to at least 10 days per year (pro-rata) for professional development. This entitlement, from the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, applies to Postdocs, Research Assistants, Research and Teaching Technicians, Teaching Fellows and AEP equivalent up to and including grade 7.
