Department of Criminology
The department has a multidisciplinary profile, bringing together researchers from criminology, sociology, psychology, social work, medicine/psychiatry and law. Specific research areas are criminal careers, gender and crime, comparative studies, longitudinal studies, the geography of crime, intimate partner violence, hate crimes, juvenile delinquency, crime prevention, drug abuse and mental illhealth. Our research is being developed in close cooperation with local and national organizations and authorities as well as with national and international academic partners.

About the position
The position as associate senior lecturer is intended to provide early career researchers with an opportunity to develop their independence as researchers and advance their research and teaching expertise for the purpose of enabling them to fulfil the requirements for appointments as senior lecturers. This is a tenure-track position which can be held for a maximum of four years. An associate senior lecturer who meets the qualification requirements for employment as senior lecturer has the right, upon application, to be considered for promotion to a permanent position as senior lecturer (see below).

As an associate senior lecturer at the department of Criminology, you will conduct research related to the longitudinal research projects: The Malmö Individual and Neighbourhood Development Study (MINDS) and Malmö Community Study (MCS), one of which is following a cohort of individuals from age 12 and onwards, and the other studying stability and change in Malmö neighbourhoods. These projects aim to examine the interplay between the individual and the social setting in which she/he interacts, in order to advance knowledge on causes of crime and crime prevention.

The position also includes research-based teaching in Criminology, both on bachelor and master’s level, as well as supervision and examination of bachelor and master’s theses. As associate senior lecturer, you will be expected to create strong networks with external stakeholders as well as the international research community. Teaching is not expected to exceed 50% of working time.

• Obtained a PhD in Criminology or other relevant discipline no more than 5 years prior to the application deadline for the appointment.
