United Kingdom University of York Full time


The University of York wishes to recruit a 0.5 fte, 12-month Research Associate to provide research assistance on a new project, Volunteers and Vulnerabilities: the Politics of Policing Partnerships . The project is funded by the ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre . We are looking for an excellent candidate trained in the social sciences, ideally with knowledge/expertise in either (1) critical approaches to contemporary policing and society, including police volunteers; (2) the politics of migration and bordering; (3) critical security studies and everyday security

The post-holder will be part of a team working with Dr Alex Hall (York), Dr Hannah Lewis (Sheffield) and Professor Louise Waite (Leeds) on the Volunteers and Vulnerabilities project. This project builds from the idea that contemporary border ‘vulnerabilities’ are generating new networks of collaboration and enforcement which span police, allied security agencies, civil society and the public in potentially problematic ways. While formal UK police service-managed volunteers (e.g. Special Constables, Police Support Volunteers) are well-researched, less is known about knowledge flows and activity in these less formal networks.

By examining two (interlinked) case studies - 1) coastal borders and 2) modern slavery - the project will critically examine how border “vulnerability” (broadly understood) produces new coalitions of policing activity.

As well as working closely with the research leads, you will join a strong and vibrant postdoctoral community in the Department of Politics and International Relations. We will work to ensure that the post supports your career trajectory and that it provides scope for you to develop professionally. The post is available from 1 July 2024 (the start date is potentially negotiable).

Role
  • To conduct desk-based literature-review-style research under the supervision of Dr Hall, Dr Lewis and Professor Waite. There may be the possibility of contributing to qualitative fieldwork (e.g. focus groups, interviews).
  • To contribute to the analysis of qualitative data, including basic coding using software packages such as NVivo.
  • To contribute to the analysis of quantitative data using basic, non-specialist analysis tools (e.g. Excel Spreadsheets).
  • To contribute to the research and preparation of research publications.
  • To contribute to the drafting of outputs for public and policy-engagement, including (but not limited to) blogs, social media content and policy briefs for practitioners/research stakeholders etc.
  • To assist with the organisation of fieldwork and research visits, including liaison with participants and stakeholders, booking travel and accommodation etc.
  • To help organise - and, where appropriate, participate in - workshops over the course of the research.
  • To contribute to the preparation of follow-on research funding applications where appropriate.

This role is offered on a part time basis (18.5 hours per week) and for a fixed term period of 12 months.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed
  • (Working towards or completed a) PhD in relevant subject area (e.g., politics, sociology, human geography, anthropology, criminology, history, law or related subject area).
  • Knowledge on one or more of the substantive research themes, e.g. contemporary policing and the involvement of volunteers; police and civil society responses to modern slavery; borders, border security and “the everyday”.
  • Knowledge of research techniques and methodologies that can contribute to the overall success of the project
  • Research expertise in an area that will complement and enhance the department’s research strategy and goals
  • Experience of carrying out both independent and collaborative research
  • Experience of writing up research work for publication
  • Ability to work as part of a team and also to work independently using own initiative

Interview date: To be confirmed

For informal enquiries: please contact Dr Alex Hall(alexandra.hall@york.ac.uk)
