We seek to appoint candidates working in areas of Sociology that suit the department’s current research strengths and that deliver high quality teaching.

In addition, the post-holders will excel at research-led teaching and contribute to the successful delivery and innovation of Sociology undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.

The department’s research is currently organised around three research themes; a) Economy, Technology, Expertise, b) Inequalities and Social Change, and c) Justice, Authority and the Geopolitical as well as within two Research Centres – the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender and the Social Theory Centre.

The successful candidates will have the ability to teach in core areas of Sociological methods and theory and on more specialised modules in areas such as criminology; gender and society; global sociology; and/or media and culture. We welcome applications from candidates involved in interdisciplinary research collaborations.
