Part time, 17.5 hour per week, fixed term five year post
The UKRI GCRF Gender, Justice and Security Hub is a five year project working at the overlap of three major policy fields: Sustainable Development Goal 5 on gender equality; Goal 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions; and the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. The Hub is housed in the Centre for Women, Peace and Security, a leading academic space for scholars, practitioners, activists, policy-makers and students to develop strategies to promote justice, human rights and participation for women in conflict-affected situations around the world.
We seek a Research Officer to contribute to three specific projects within the Gender, Justice and Security Hub. These projects will examine the data available on gendered effects of transitional justice programmes; the funding of transitional justice; and the backlash against rights. The post-holder will have a PhD, be close to completion, or have outstanding equivalent experience in the field of transitional justice, international criminal law, rule of law or human rights. Experience of leading or assisting in the management of a research project is essential, as is experience of using a range of research methodologies. Experience in drafting applications for funding and engaging in monitoring and evaluation of research activity would be an advantage.
We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
