The School of Sociology and Social Policy is a vibrant centre for social science teaching and research. We are a multidisciplinary School covering criminology, sociology, public policy, social policy, and social work. Due to a member of our criminology team being awarded a research grant, we are looking for an enthusiastic scholar to join our team as an Assistant Professor in Criminology on a one-year fixed term Teaching and Curriculum Leadership contract (full-time (36.25 hours) starting January 2027).

The successful applicant will be expected to make a significant contribution to teaching in the School, and particularly our criminology programmes. Core undergraduate criminology teaching will be a priority, including research methods.
