We are recruiting a Senior Research Fellow or Research Fellow to work independently and as a key member of a committed team. The role is part of Dr Philippa Tomczak’s prestigious £1.3m, five year European Research Council Starting Grant RECEDE: ‘REgulating Criminal justicE DEtention: glocal prospects for improving health and safety in detention and society’ (2022 – 2027).
Primary duties include the development of social/criminological theory, particularly processual approaches (assemblages, actor-network theory); analysis and collection of data from documents, interviews and hopefully ethnographic observation within and across detention settings; writing (first) authored publications for peer-reviewed journals across academic disciplines; and contributing to the development of funding proposals.
Strong theoretical and writing abilities are essential and all candidates must already hold a PhD (awarded, not subject to major revisions).
This project benefits from proximity to Dr Tomczak's seven year UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (2020 – 2024) and international prisonHEALTH research group, along with its location within the School of Sociology and Social Policy.
This is a full-time post (36.25 hours), fixed term for 4 years. Part-time applications will be considered for candidates wishing to work a minimum of 29 hours per week, please indicate preferred hours in your application.
Interview date: Tuesday 7th June 2022
People from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to apply as the School is determined to provide an inclusive environment for staff and students.
