Dissertation Supervisor (Fixed term, part time, multiple positions) (SOC

The School of Sociology and Social Policy (SSP) is a vibrant, diverse and exciting centre for social science teaching and research. We are a multidisciplinary unit covering criminology, public policy, social policy, social work and sociology. Cutting across these disciplinary boundaries are two shared values: the promotion of global and social justice and a desire in our teaching and research to ‘make a difference’.  

We are looking for several enthusiastic individuals to join the thriving and growing Public and Social Policy team to enhance and provide expert supervision for students across three MA programmes in Public Administration, Public Policy and International Social Policy. They will be responsible for supervising and marking dissertations, attending training workshops and relevant meetings, and conducting related administrative duties. Overall, we need a mix of expertise in public and social policy to support the range of student dissertation topics across the three programmes.    

This position is available on a fixed term contract from 1 May 2025 – 30 September 2025. Hours of work are 0.2 full time equivalent (7.25 hours per week). Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

We actively encourage people from racially minoritised backgrounds and those who have protected characteristics to apply: the School is determined to provide a diverse and inclusive environment for staff and students, which draws on the widest possible range of talents and backgrounds. 

Informal enquiries may be addressed to ruby.chau@nottingham.ac.uk. Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
