**ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre**:
Are you an ambitious mixed methods researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a research interest in policing and vulnerable groups, and the interactions between them and other service providers? Are you committed to advancing and shaping policies and practice in policing futures? Do you want to further your career at a leading research-intensive University?
You will work within the ESRC Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre, jointly led from York and Leeds universities by Professor Charlie Lloyd and Professor Adam Crawford along with a team of over 25 leading researchers from diverse social science disciplines. Working with a large team that includes data scientists, qualitative researchers, Associated PhD researchers and professional support staff, and alongside 38 regional, national and international partners, you will play an important role, assuming significant fieldwork and data collection responsibilities, as well as contributing to data analysis and writing up the findings. With a doctorate (or equivalent research experience) relevant to this research field and proven experience of empirical research, you will initially work on two research projects, one on policing and mental illness, the other on policing and modern slavery. You will undertake a broad range of tasks from analysis of quantitative data to qualitative interviews and ‘ride-alongs’ with police officers. More broadly over the three years, you will be conducting fieldwork; synthesising existing evidence, developing research collaborations, report and article writing, and liaising with project partners.
**Role**:
This post represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the Centre’s innovative, interdisciplinary approach. We are building knowledge from problem-based and place-based perspectives, about the interactions between vulnerability and service providers’ responses, and using these findings to build new, integrated and innovative approaches to harm reduction that address the needs of vulnerable groups. Current funding runs to 30 April 2027, with the potential for a further five years of tapered funding thereafter.
You will be line-managed directly by Professor Charlie Lloyd at the University of York, and will work alongside other Centre researchers and Co-investigators who are experts in their fields, in delivering cutting-edge research on vulnerability and policing. You will contribute to team meetings and, with the support of senior academics, present findings from your research to a variety of professional and public audiences.
**Skills, Experience & Qualifications needed**:
- Knowledge and understanding of vulnerability and contemporary policing relevant to the mission of the Vulnerability and Policing Futures Research Centre (VPRC).
- Knowledge and understanding of the challenges in undertaking research with vulnerable groups, including relevant ethical issues pertaining to quantitative and qualitative data collection and access.
- Strong quantitative and data analytic skills: demonstrable experience of working with primary and secondary data, undertaking multivariate statistical analyses and statistical tests in SPSS,R and/or Python.
- Advanced qualitative research skills with demonstrable experience of semi-structured interviews.
**Interview Date**: to be confirmed
The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.
We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
