Research Associate
Role
This post represents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the Centre’s innovative, interdisciplinary approach. We are building knowledge from problem-based and place-based perspectives, about the interactions between vulnerability and service providers’ responses, and using these findings to build new, integrated and innovative approaches to harm reduction that address the needs of vulnerable groups. Current funding runs to 30 April 2027, with the potential for a further five years of tapered funding thereafter.
You will be line-managed directly by Professor Charlie Lloyd at the University of York, and will work alongside other Centre researchers and Co-investigators who are experts in their fields, in delivering cutting-edge research on vulnerability and policing. You will contribute to team meetings and, with the support of senior academics, present findings from your research to a variety of professional and public audiences.
This post offers excellent potential to develop an outstanding research career. A generous training budget is available and you will also be encouraged to attend international conferences and other events, and publish research in leading academic journals. You will also play an active role in research translation, application and impact, working with police, public service and NGO partners on policy and practice development.
Candidates must be willing and able to complete DBS and police vetting checks once in post. Additionally, because of the requirement to undergo police vetting to enable the research to be carried out, the successful candidate must have been resident in the UK for at least three years at the time of appointment.
