At The Department of Sociology and Social Work, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, a position as postdoc in criminology is available from December 1st or as soon as possible thereafter. The employment will be for a period of 2 years.
The position is part of a strategic effort to strengthen criminological research in cybercrime; it is fully funded and carries no teaching requirements. The postdoc is expected to conduct research on an independent project and to apply for research funding in collaboration with established researchers in the department.

The independent research project should address cybercrime, whether cyber-enabled or -dependent, and may cover topics such as:

• Victimization

• Illicit online markets
• Fraud
• Cybersecurity

The project may address national or international problems, and should do so using appropriate methods, qualitative and/or quantitative. Access to Danish data sources, such as registry data, respondents, organizations, or surveys, will be supported to the best of the ability of senior researchers. The project should have a clear potential to generate research at the international level, produce publications in leading journals, and secure future funding.
During the employment period, the postdoc will be supervised by senior researchers and will work in close collaboration with them to produce research on their independent project. The department will support activities that align with the goal of securing funding and will support the general career development of the postdoc.
