Brunel University London is part of a consortium delivering the PEQF degree apprenticeships and the degree holder programme for the Metropolitan Police. These new positions are designed to play a key role in the delivery of teaching on these programmes, drawing on prior or existing professional knowledge and experience. Depending on the seniority of the positions, appointees will also liaise on behalf of the University with the MPS Degree Apprentice Consortium and the Metropolitan Police. Building on our success in this area, we have also launched a new undergraduate degree in Criminology on which the successful applicants may contribute. These new positions will commence in the spring/summer of 2023.

Successful applicants will be appointed as Lecturer or Senior Lecturer depending on academic and research experience, and professional knowledge and expertise. Applicants will have an undergraduate degree and preferably a post-graduate qualification. Professional experience in or with the police, or other aspect of public or emergency services, will be of advantage. Opportunities will exist for professional development in obtaining relevant HEI teaching qualifications where necessary

The appointees will join the Department of Social and Political Sciences. This is a thriving interdisciplinary department, which includes Politics, Modern History, Sociology & Communications, Anthropology and Journalism. The Metropolitan Police degree apprenticeship and degree holder programmes, and the new Criminology degree sit in this department.

We encourage applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds, particularly those that are currently underrepresented in the department, college and university and in the field of policing. We also encourage applicants with digital forensics and cybercrime experience. All posts are “compressed hours” contracts to allow for additional flexibility outside of teaching blocks and we will consider flexible working arrangements where appropriate.

Informal enquiries about the posts and the Department can be made to the Head of Department, Dr. Peter D. Thomas (peter.thomas2@brunel.ac.uk) or Criminology & Criminal Justice Division Leader Dr Kristian Gustafson (kristian.gustafson@brunel.ac.uk)
