You will conduct high-quality research that will focus on understanding and evaluating health and care inequalities and social harms experienced by marginalised and minoritised communities within the criminal justice system in England and Wales. As part of this, you will be involved in applying this learning to explore how health and justice systems could be adapted or improved to mitigate social harms experienced by marginalised and minoritised communities a! nd reduce health and social inequalities. This role includes conducting comparative qualitative case studies to understand the health and justice experiences of marginalised and minoritized communities using an intersectional lens (for example: young people, women, neurodiverse communities or ageing populations) at varying levels of involvement in the criminal justice system. This post offers an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research while allowing you unrivalled opportunities for career progression and professional development. The University provides a working environment that is inclusive and welcoming and where everyone is treated fairly with dignity and respect.
