**The Department**

The Department of Sociology at Durham was formed in 1964 - initially as a Department of Social Theory and Institutions. We currently deliver two successful undergraduate degrees in Sociology and Criminology; our criminology programme is 1st in the UK in the Times and Sunday Times Good University guide 2024. We also run a professional masters programme in Social Work (Durham was Social Work University of the Year in 2022), a new MSc Sociology and an MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice. We also support the core delivery of the Faculty’s ESRC Research Methods Training.

Sociology at Durham is continuing an ambitious programme of investment to consolidate and expand its research capacity in its overarching research themes:

- Communities and Social Justice
- Health and Social Theory
- Higher Education and Social Inequalities
- Violence and Abuse
- Information about all research themes can be found here.

**Assistant Professors at Durham**

Assistant Professors on the Education and Research track are encouraged to focus on research and teaching, but are also expected to engage in wider citizenship to enhance their own development, support their department and discipline, and contribute to the wider student experience.

Academic colleagues are supported to publish excellent research in their area of interest with a focus on high quality outputs (including monographs and journal articles), rather than quantity. We aim to support your research needs, including practical help such as resources to attend conferences and to fund research activities, as well as a generous research leave policy and a designated mentor.

Durham University is also committed to ensuring outstanding teaching quality, stimulating learning environments, and innovative curricula for all our students. You will be supported to develop your teaching expertise and skills.

Applicants must demonstrate high quality research in the field of violence and abuse, with the ability to teach our students to an exceptional standard and to fully engage in the services, citizenship and values of the University.

**Key responsibilities**:

- To pursue research that is high quality in terms of originality, significance and rigour.
- To develop clear plans for the pursuit of national and international funding opportunities to support research and end-user engagement.
- To play a role in relevant teaching and research supervision, and contribute to ongoing curriculum development.
- Contribute to enhancing the quality of the research environment in the Department, the wider University and beyond through collaborative research activity.
- Demonstrate a willingness to contribute to the administrative work, citizenship and values of the Department.
- To deliver lectures, seminars and tutorials at undergraduate and taught postgraduate levels, as well as engaging in related activity such as assessment.
