About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to deliver a 3-year ESRC-funded research project lead by Dr Calum Hartley (PI) in collaboration with Dr John Shaw (Co-I, Edge Hill University), Dr Mengyi Gong (Co-I, Lancaster University), and partners at Ygam, Internet Matters, and ADHD UK.

The project will investigate how primary school children engage with video games, microtransactions and loot boxes, including the developmental and wellbeing risks for children with ADHD and autism. Although gaming and in-game purchasing are widespread among UK children, little is known about how loot-box engagement develops, its wider psychological effects or which children are most vulnerable.

Developed with Ygam, Internet Matters and ADHD UK, the research will:

• Identify patterns and predictors of gaming and loot-box engagement, including among children with ADHD and autism;

• Assess the long-term effects on mental and physical health, risk-taking and vulnerability to gambling;

• Explore whether caregivers’ gaming and loot-box behaviours predict similar behaviours in their children; and

• Understand what drives children’s interest in in-game items and their motivations for opening loot boxes.

The findings will strengthen understanding of gaming and microtransactions within families and support evidence-based interventions and policy. Partner collaboration will ensure meaningful engagement and help translate the research into online resources for families and educators, policy briefings, knowledge-exchange events and wider digital communications.

As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to redeployment, please note that this vacancy may be withdrawn at any stage of the recruitment process if a suitable redeployee is identified.

For informal enquiries about this vacancy, please contact John Shaw, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at John.Shaw@edgehill.ac.uk .

About Us

At Edge Hill University we believe in the life changing opportunities knowledge can create. Since 1885, we’ve been creating access to knowledge for those who may not have had the opportunity to before.

Today, the effect we have has a far-reaching impact, not just for those who come to study here but for those who work, invest in, and live in our local communities too. So, if you’ve ever wondered if one person can make a difference, simply speak to our alumni, students, and award-winning staff.

Because for us education isn’t about how much you take in. It’s about what you take out into the world.

Inspiring minds and changing futures since 1885, Edge Hill University is “A great success story… an institution that improves and impresses year after year” – Times Higher Education.
