Post-Doctoral Research Associate
Job details
Fixed term - 3 years
This post represents an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join a research team led by Dr Evi Girling, which includes Professor Ian Loader (Oxford University), Professor Richard Sparks (Edinburgh University) and Professor Ben Bradford (University College London). The team have been recently awarded a grant from the
ESRC for an ambitious three year programme of research examining Place, Crime and Insecurity in Everyday Life: A contemporary study of an English town. This project will provide a new exploration of the place and meanings of security in the everyday lives of people living in Britain today through an intensive local study of one English town in Cheshire. Three of the present research team undertook a study of 'crime-talk' in that same town in the 1990s.
The earlier study entitled 'The Symbolic Construction of Crime in Middle England' - was also funded by ESRC as part of the 'Crime and Social Order' programme (award no. 210252032). The new research will return there, offering an entirely revised prospectus and array of methods in order to understand afresh the security concerns and security-seeking practices of its present inhabitants, and the modes of governance deployed by public authorities and other (private sector, 'third' sector and civil society) actors. The study affords a unique opportunity to investigate the cultural, spatial, economic, demographic and technological coordinates of the new security landscape, and thus to identify more clearly the consequences of the intervening quarter-century of political and social change.
We are seeking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to join our research team on 1st November 2019, who has or will shortly have a doctorate in Anthropology, Human Geography, Sociology, Criminology or a cognate social science subject and with experience of and aptitude in qualitative and ethnographic methodologies. The post-holder will be based at Keele and will be expected to work closely with all members of the research team. The project will produce a number of scholarly and practical/policy outputs in a variety of formats and will offer excellent capacity building and networking opportunities within the academic and national and local practitioner communities.
For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Evi Girling at e.j.girling@keele.ac.uk.
Keele University values equality and diversity across our workforce, welcoming applications from all backgrounds for all roles.
Please note this appointment is subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service check and Occupational Health screening.
