With around 24,000 students, Birmingham City University is one of the UK's largest universities, providing teaching to students around the globe and producing research with international and national impact. Situated in Birmingham, the UK’s second city, we also have a long history of local interaction with the city and the wider West Midlands region. We pride ourselves on an inclusive and dynamic working environment, where we work hard to develop our staff.

The Department of Criminology and Sociology at Birmingham City University is home to a diverse and multi-disciplinary team and has a track record of success in research, knowledge exchange, teaching and public engagement.  This is an exciting opportunity to join an established but innovative provider of Criminology programmes. We encourage candidates with any specialism in Criminology and fellowship of the HEA would be desirable.

Candidates should possess a first and higher degree, and if not already in possession of a relevant doctorate qualification, it would be an advantage if candidates are close to completion of a doctorate, pending viva/examination within the next 6 months. Candidates will also be expected to be active and involved in research, scholarship and/or knowledge-transfer activities, and contribute to one of our Research Centres within the School of Social Sciences.
