Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester Metropolitan University Full time

The Department of Sociology at Manchester Metropolitan is one of the largest in the UK; with 85 members of staff and over 1500 students across all levels. We deliver undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Criminology, Sociology and Social Policy. The Department is both teaching
- and research-intensive, with a strong focus on applied, empirical social science. Our success in achieving above sector student satisfaction demonstrates our commitment to excellent, student-centred learning. Our department is home to several research centres, including the Policy Evaluation and Research Unit, the Manchester Centre for Youth Studies, and the Drugs Policy and Social Change unit. We are also nationally recognised for our innovative approach to quantitative methods and data literacy via our Q-Step Centre. In the REF21 we were rated top 15 for research power in both UoA20 and UoA21; our research is impactful, interdisciplinary and socially engaged.

**About the role**:
The Deputy Head of Sociology is a senior academic leadership role within the department. The role holder will work closely with the Head of Department to shape and lead the strategic direction of the department. The role holder will additionally oversee the operational priorities of the department, working closely with other members of the department's leadership team.
