The Department of Sociological Studies has a major international 
reputation for excellence in research and teaching across Digital Media, 
Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, achieving high levels of 
cross-fertilisation between these disciplines. It is committed to 
understanding society and social change, and to research and teaching 
that improves people's lives, especially those of the most vulnerable. 
We are proud to be one of the top social science research departments in 
the UK, with a long history of high profile contributions to theory, 
policy and practice.

Applications are very welcome from all fields of sociology, and are 
particularly encouraged from areas that ensure that the Department

sociologies of crime, environment, gender, culture, consumption and 
materialities.

record as a scholar, including publications in high ranked international 
journals. You will hold a PhD in a relevant discipline and be able to 
provide research leadership, attract external funding and research 
students to the Department.   You will be expected to represent the 
Department in the wider University and promote and represent the 
University and the discipline nationally and internationally. The 
successful candidate will be expected to fully contribute to research, 
teaching and administration within the Department.
