This role will be based on the main campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner.

We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you an outstanding individual with an original programme of research in criminology or criminal justice? Do you have the ambition to contribute to the further development of the interdisciplinary Centre for Criminal Justice Studies? Do you want to be part of a thriving law school in a Russell Group University? Are you passionate about delivering world-leading research and an exceptional student experience?

The School of Law at Leeds is a successful, dynamic law school, which was ranked 4th overall in the UK for the quality of its research in REF 2021 and 1st for the impact of its research on society. We are seeking to appoint high calibre individuals with a strong research and teaching profile to complement and extend our existing research strengths. The successful candidate will contribute to the national and international profile and standing of the School and its Centre for Criminal Justice Studies.

Since its foundation in 1987, the Centre for Criminal Justice Studies (CCJS) has established itself as an internationally leading centre of research in criminology and criminal justice studies. The Centre advances interdisciplinary, theoretically informed and methodologically rigorous research on key issues in contemporary crime policy and criminal justice practice. Its researchers are internationally leading scholars in their respective fields of expertise, who work closely and extensively with partners in policy, practice and civil society to make a positive difference to wider society.

The post is open to candidates with expertise in any field of criminology and/or criminal justice, though we especially welcome applicants with active research interests in one of the following areas: emerging technologies and crime/security; international perspectives on crime and/or criminal justice; terrorism, counter-terrorism and/or organised crime.

As a research active academic, you will be expected to maintain a strong research and publication record, contribute to obtaining external research income, pursue impact and translational activity, and enhance the School's research activities and research culture.

You will deliver undergraduate and taught postgraduate modules in appropriate subject areas, including one or more foundational BA Criminal Justice and Criminology subjects, as well as supervising dissertations and PhD candidates. You will be expected to undertake a normal load of administrative duties within the School and work within the context of University values and policies, which are designed to promote dignity, diversity and inclusiveness.
