[Commlist] Research post for AHRC project Prosecuting Rap

We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented Research Associate to 
join the AHRC-funded project *‘Prosecuting Rap: Criminal Justice and UK 
Black Youth Expressive Culture.’* The post is for a 12-month period 
starting on 1 February 2020 [although flexible working applications will 
be considered].

You will be based in the Department of English & American Studies in the 
School of Arts, Languages and Cultures, working with the project’s 
principal investigator, Dr Eithne Quinn, and be linked to the 
interdisciplinary Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE) in the School 
of Social Sciences.

You will have a doctoral degree (or equivalent) in cultural studies, 
sociology, critical criminology or a related discipline, a familiarity 
with black youth culture, and a personal commitment to race equality and 
social justice. Together with the principal investigator, you will 
coproduce scholarly articles, impact materials and public engagement 
activities that scrutinise how black youth expressive culture is used as 
evidence in criminal proceedings in contemporary Britain.

The University of Manchester is committed to building a culturally 
diverse institution where all staff and students can flourish and feel 
valued for their contribution and individuality. As black, Asian and 
minority ethnic (BAME) researchers are currently underrepresented, we 
would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates. All 
appointments are made on merit. Closing date 9/12/19
