FURTHER INFORMATION:


The Role

This is your chance to make a significant contribution to the strategic development of the new multidisciplinary Centre for Research in Communities, Identities and Difference (CReCID).

Building on current success within the department, the Centre will bring together colleagues from disciplines within the School and across the Faculty to deliver collaborations leading to more theoretically exciting and comprehensive solutions to social problems. These could include citizenship, multiple- identities, intergroup relations within and between communities in diverse societies, community based approaches to preventing and responding to violence, and the impact of individuals and/or groups in adversity on communities. 


The Person

Your PhD in criminology or sociology will be matched by an impressive track record of producing high quality, internationally recognised research outputs. Dynamic, ambitious and innovative, you will also have solid experience of teaching and supervising students at undergraduate and postgraduate level and attracting significant external research funding. An excellent communicator, you will have a flair for building relationships with colleagues from other disciplines and providing academic leadership to a diverse team. In short, you will have the expertise and vision to enhance the national and international reputation of the School.
