Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
This project will consider the theory, practice and ethics of behavioural interventions (nudges) in the police service. In collaboration with Humberside Police, this project will seek to identify and test opportunities to modify police practice and procedures.
Candidates with a background in ethics, applied ethics or nudge theory and behavioural economics are encouraged to apply.
Before making an application, potential candidates should think carefully about how their skills and research interests align with the proposed project and the supervision team. For an informal discussion about projects, please contact one of the named supervisors or the cluster lead, Professor Iain Brennan ([Email Address Removed]).
More about this research team
Applications are invited for Doctoral Scholarships, to join a multi-disciplinary Research Cluster, working with experts from across the University as part of the, Humberside Police-Academic Collaboration (H-PAC).
The common theme for this diverse range of research topics is to improve community safety through better policing. The topics have been co-produced with Humberside Police to meet the Force priorities, to support government strategies and to reflect the new ongoing commitment to collaboration between University of Hull and Humberside Police.
In addition to having two internal academic supervisors, each candidate will have a third supervisor who is a senior police officer. Students will be required to undertake 12 weeks of placement with Humberside Police during the PhD programme and to make an annual progress presentation to Humberside Police.
This novel continuous co-production model of supervision is designed to create researchers who are uniquely qualified to lead the future of policing research.
Entry requirements
Applicants should have a 1st class undergraduate degree and Masters level qualification in a discipline relevant to the project topic, together with relevant research experience. A 2:1 may be considered if combined with relevant experience.
Successful applicants will be informed of the award as soon as possible and by 16 March 2020 at the latest.
The successful candidate will be required to pass police security vetting.
Scholarships will start on 21 September 2020.
