We have a postdoctoral position open!
It is a full-time, 16-month post, starting on 21 October 2021 or 03 January 2022. This position supports the SHaME project, which brings together an interdisciplinary team to investigate the medical and psychiatric aspects of sexual violence from a global perspective. It is funded by The Wellcome Trust.
Working in close collaboration with the team, the postdoctoral researcher will undertake research on any aspect of sexual violence that involves the medical and/or psychiatric professions.
The Fellow’s research should be linked to at least one of five research streams:
- medicine and the law of sexual violence;
- the role of medical professionals (including police surgeons, FMEs, nurses, physicians, psychiatrists, forensic scientists, and so on);
- psychiatric classification systems (sexual violence as conceptualised in psychiatric texts);
- psychiatric aftermaths of abuse; and
- child sexual abuse.
This is a great opportunity for a researcher from any social science or humanities discipline, including history, medical humanities, law, sociology, philosophy, political science, psychology, psycho-social studies, or anthropology.
The minimum requirements for selection are a PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant subject area, or evidence that the PhD will be completed prior to the start date of the post.
We welcome applications from scholars working in any relevant area, but particularly welcome applications focussing on minoritised groups.
Closing date for applications is 20 August 2021.
Interviews will be held on 31 August 2021.
