There is currently one vacancy in the Centre for Criminology.
Oxford–Howard League Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship
Grade 7: £29,249-£35,938 per annum pro rata to 0.5FTE
The Centre for Criminology, in association with the Howard League for Penal Reform, is looking to appoint a suitably qualified person to a part-time (50%) Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship for a fixed period of 12 months. The Fellow will be expected to carry out a programme of work which is likely to consist of producing for publication articles and/or a monograph based on their doctoral thesis, and at least one policy output in collaboration with the Howard League. The Fellowship will also enable the person appointed to initiate new research projects for which external research funding may be sought. The Fellow will, to this end, be allocated a mentor, whose research interests bear close relation to their own, who they will work closely with during the period of the Fellowship. The Fellow will also be closely supported by the Director of Research at the Howard League. Consideration will be given to applicants working in all areas relating to criminal justice and penal reform.
We are looking to appoint someone with either a doctorate which has been successfully examined since 1st October 2007, or who will have submitted their thesis for examination by 1st October 2012. The doctorate will be in criminology, sociology or a related social science discipline.
This is an exciting opportunity for an able and enthusiastic social scientist to develop their knowledge, skills and career following completion of a doctorate.
The post is based in the Manor Road Building, Manor Road, Oxford. The post will be part-time (50%) for 12 months. The Centre hopes to fill the position from 1st October 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter. The closing date for applications is Monday 21st May at 12.00pm. Interviews for the short-listed candidates are expected to take place in w/c Monday 28th May 2012.
