We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, creating a community where colleagues feel respected and valued.

The Wilberforce Institute is one of the leading centres of research and knowledge exchange about historical and contemporary enslavement and exploitation in the world. Based in the historic museum quarter of Kingston-upon-Hull, the Wilberforce Institute works extensively with practice, policy, survivor and descendent communities to research, educate and improve how we understand and respond to the practice of slavery globally.
"The Wilberforce Institute investigates historical and contemporary enslavement, emancipation and related forms of exploitation and injustice."
We strive to bring about positive change through free-thinking research, education and knowledge exchange with policymakers, practitioners, researchers and survivors. We seek to challenge and disrupt injustice by bringing people together to amplify their voices and overcome barriers and obstacles to living feely and with dignity. This ambition is underpinned by our unshakeable commitment to delivering solutions that influence policy, change practice, and deliver better outcomes for all.
This is realised through three interlocking questions that are at the core of everything we do:
a)What can we learn from people with lived and descendent experience that improves our understanding of obstacles to, and the realisation of, human dignity and rights?
b)How can a) help us understand what vulnerabilities and structural conditions create and sustain experiences of enslavement, exploitation and injustice?
c)How can a) and b) be used to change how research and knowledge exchange can inform policy, impact communities, and improve organisational practices?
The structure of the Wilberforce Institute is:
The areas of expertise at the Wilberforce Institute are:
1.Survivors, Descendants and Decolonising knowledge
2.Justice, Legal Enforcement and Victimisation
3.Human Rights, Conflict and Climate Change
4.Businesses, Labour and Supply Chains
5.Education, Training, Safeguarding and Partnership

The Academic Careers Framework outlines the specialist and core activities for the T&R pathway. As this is 20% research-only contract the 'T' component is not relevant to this position as it cannot be meaningfully accommodated within a such a small fractional contract. This being said, a modest contribution to Professional Training / CPD is expected as part of this role (at 1 - 3 days per annum) in the fields of climate migration, displacement, human rights advocacy and policy engagement.

As a 20% research-only position this constitutes 50% of the time a full time T&R lecturer would normally have for research (based on a 40/40/20 split with research being 40% of a lecturer's time). The minimum research expectation for this position is therefore one high quality research output every two years (books double-weighted) and one research grant application every 2 - 3 years).
In addition, attendance at core team planning days (one or two a year) plus approximately 50% attendance at staff meetings (once a month, 10 months of the year) is expected. Other duties of the post include representing the Wilberforce Institute internally and externally and supporting the Director of the Wilberforce Institute to drive forward the Institute's strategy and performance.

Applications close at 00:01am of the closing date listed. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications. If you are interested in this role, please submit your application as early as possible.
