Job Description
The Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology seeks to appoint one permanent Lecturer post with expertise relevant to criminology and/or critical social policy to join our department in the School of Law and Social Justice at the University of Liverpool.
This post is open to candidates with a PhD (completed or submitted and awaiting viva) and teaching experience in a relevant subject who have an established track record of research excellence and substantive plans for developing their research profile into the future. We would particularly welcome outstanding candidates with expertise around issues of 'race' and ethnicity, social exclusion, and/or quantitative research methods. However, we will consider all strong applications from candidates willing to contribute across our programmes in criminology, sociology and social policy and methodologies. A commitment to social justice will be complementary to the strong social justice legacy and programmes of research for which the Department is renowned.
Interviews are expected to take place 25 June 2026.
Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
