Lecturer in Criminology

The University of Bath is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Criminology (Research and Education). 

About the role 

We are looking for candidates with promising research track records who could contribute to and benefit from our growing research strength in Criminology. You will also contribute to our highly successful and growing portfolio of Criminology courses. 

We are open to applications from candidates with any criminological specialism, but particularly encourage applications from whose research interests complement and extend those of our current criminology staff (in the areas of global crime and justice, prisons, drugs, court reform, crime and culture, and sexual violence). An ability to deliver introductory teaching on criminal law is desirable, but not essential.

This role is offered on a full time (36.5 hours per week) permanent basis. The proposed start date is 1st August 2023.

About the Department 

The Criminology group is housed in the Department of Social and Policy Sciences, one of the UK’s leading centres for social policy-oriented research and teaching excellence. We are committed to interdisciplinary and impactful research. Our academic staff represent a range of disciplinary backgrounds, including social and public policy, sociology, social work, international development, and criminology. We have a vibrant research community of academic staff, postgraduate students, and research staff. 

The Department of Social and Policy Sciences is dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for our staff and students, and has recently been awarded an Athena SWAN Bronze award. 

Initial enquiries should be directed to Dr Sarah Moore, Head of Department (sm2315@bath.ac.uk) and Dr Kate Gooch, Deputy Head of Department (kg637@bath.ac.uk).
