THE DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY

The Department of Criminology at the University of Manchester is internationally leading in new thinking about crime, victims and harm in a changing world. We have recognised strengths in drugs use, market and policy; fraud, white collar and organised crime; violence and its aftermath; prisons, punishment & policing; and offending and victimisation. Our international profile is evidenced with publications in international journals, leading international research collaborations, and prestigious advisory appointments to government and international bodies. We provide research-led teaching to our undergraduate and postgraduate students. Our ‘Learning Criminology Inside’ programme enables university and prison-based students to study alongside one another in the prison setting. We were among the first universities to introduce coding into our undergraduate curriculum, and have quantitative skills training at the heart of our teaching, integrating with the Q-step programme. We work closely with social statistics, computer science, Institute for Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, partners such as N8 Policing Research Partnership, the Cathie Marsh Institute, and methods@manchester.

The Department of Criminology sits within the School of Social Sciences and is a research-oriented department delivering excellent teaching to undergraduate and postgraduate students. We are seeking to appoint a new Lecturer in Quantitative Criminology to support core teaching on our BA Criminology and postgraduate programmes.
The appointment is for 12 months.
Research and teaching expertise of the successful candidate will be in the area of quantitative criminology, in any substantive area.
The School is strongly committed to promoting equality and diversity, including the Athena SWAN charter for gender equality in higher education. The School holds a Bronze Award which recognises our good practice in relation to gender; including flexible working arrangements, family-friendly policies, and support to allow staff achieve a good work-life balance. All appointments will be made on merit.
