Term: Fixed Term (30/09/26)
Closing Date: 06 April 2026
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Strathclyde is seeking to recruit a qualitative post-doctoral researcher. This role involves working as part of a team part time (0.5) between 19th May-1st October 2026 on a research project funded by the Leverhulme Trust entitled: Penal Supervision in Comparative Context. The scale, diversity and intensity of penal supervision has greatly increased in recent years, leading to suggestions that we have entered an era of ‘mass supervision’. Three times as many people are supervised as are imprisoned, yet there have been few in-depth attempts to understand the nature of supervision and its growth. This comparative research will explore supervision in situ across five nations (England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales). Using innovative methods, the study will has generated crucial knowledge about how supervision is experienced, practiced and governed, and the socio-political conditions that influence its forms and its development. Based at the University of Strathclyde, you will be one of four part-time Post-Doctoral Researchers working on the project, in a role which will involve data coding and analysis. As part of the project team, you will work directly with Professor Beth Weaver, University of Strathclyde and closely with other members of the project team.
The formal interview date for this post has still to be confirmed.
Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor Beth Weaver, ([email protected]).
