Job description

Are you interested in working for a world top 100 University?

The Department of Sociological Studies is committed to understanding society and social change, and to research and teaching that improves people's lives, especially those of the most vulnerable. We are proud to be one of the top social science research departments in the UK, with a long history of high profile contributions to theory, policy and practice. The Department has a major international reputation for excellence in research and teaching across Sociology, Social Policy, Social Work and Digital Society.

The postholder will work with Dr Xavier L’Hoiry (PI University of Sheffield) and Dr Keith Spiller (Co-I University of Southampton) on a Leverhulme Trust funded project entitled: Watch Groups: Citizen-led Policing, Digital Surveillance & Vulnerable Groups.

You will have (or be close to completing) a PhD in a related discipline, and have experience in collecting, managing, analysing and presenting qualitative data with knowledge of expert debates which are relevant to the project (e.g, digital vigilantism; watch groups; plural policing).

Strong communication skills, both written and verbal are essential along with strong IT skills.

We are committed to enabling our employees to work in a hybrid model with flexibility over when, where and how to achieve the required outputs, in discussion with your manager.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
