Story Fellow – Nutkhut

We are collaborating with several partner organisations to appoint nine Story Fellows with a passion for crafting, telling, and analysing stories, who can bring a strong mix of creativity, problem solving and innovative thinking to this AHRC-funded research Programme run by The Story Society at Bath Spa University.

You will be based at University of the Arts London and the Host organisation Nutkhut, where you will work to find a creative solution to a problem that they think Story Skills can solve.

Nutkhut seeks a Story Fellow to celebrate its 21 years of innovation and enhance its legacy representation. This role involves creating impactful, research-informed outputs-ranging from traditional research papers to multimedia content-that showcase how Nutkhut engages diaspora communities through art. The Fellow will guide the use of contemporary research methods while ensuring Nutkhut retains authorship, highlighting the resilience and creativity of diaspora arts organisations.

You will be an experienced storyteller committed to advocacy-based research collaborations. Your exceptional research skills will empower you to craft compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. With expertise in editing, you will refine content to enhance clarity and impact. You will have a strong desire to empower others, making you the ideal candidate to collaborate with Nutkhut and help stakeholders appreciate the importance of cultural blending in the arts.

You’ll work remotely and flexibly as well as attending festivals and events. Your immersion in Nutkhut will span 14 months. For the first 12, you’ll work (on balance) 2 days a week on your placement and 0.5 on independent and StoryArcs research and training. For the final 2 months, you’ll contribute directly to analysis and development with the central StoryArcs team.

This role offers significant potential to develop your research career and be part of a prestigious AHRC-funded Programme.
