PhD not specifically required but highly desirable; if no PhD equivalent experience needed. You must be handy with websites, social media, and have experience with transcription and the likes. Contributing to our masters-level module in criminology at the University of Glasgow is a must. So, yes, the job is in Glasgow…sorry, no remote workin’. But it is nice here.
