The Department of Sociology at the University of York is amongst the top departments for research in the UK, coming 4th overall in Times Higher Education’s 2021 REF ranking and 1st for impact.

You will be expected to publish original research of the highest quality and secure research funding by developing research income-generating activities.

You will also be expected to teach on our undergraduate and masters programmes and to recruit and supervise research students. You will take an active role in the administration of the Department.

The Department is keen to strengthen the diversity of its staff group and therefore particularly welcomes applications from currently under-represented groups (which includes BAME, disabled, LGBT+ and gender-diverse candidates).
