Dr L Turner, Dr M Rowe No more applications being accepted Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

About the Project

This ESRC-funded PhD studentship is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool and the College of Policing. It will provide an observation-based analysis of the neglected issue of how sergeants shape the work of officers they supervise, generating original insights into frontline policing and informing the development of role-specific training. By collaborating closely with external partners, in particular the College of Policing, the successful PhD student will have the opportunity to engage in knowledge-exchange with end-users of the research.

Eligibility Criteria: As this is a three year (+3) studentship applicants must hold (or expect to be awarded in 2020) a Masters degree in a relevant subject (e.g. Criminology, Sociology, Social Policy, Social Research Methods), which includes a significant component of relevant training in social science research.

If you wish to discuss the studentship further, please contact Dr Liz Turner at [Email Address Removed].
