A prominent educational institution in Canada seeks a candidate to conduct research focusing on law, gender, and ageing. This role requires an undergraduate degree in law and a PhD in related studies. The successful candidate will assist in conducting socio-legal research, contributing to publications and identifying new research areas. Strong communication skills and experience in various research methodologies are essential. This role is part of an effort to explore legal frameworks affecting older women's equality and rights.
This post is based in York Law School, where you will support the Head of Department in her research on law, gender and ageing. The role has a strong intellectual focus and is intended for someone with an interest in gender- and age-related socio-legal research and in the use of law as a tool for advancing social justice and equality.
The research sits at the intersection of feminist legal theory, ageing and gender studies, and equality and human rights law. It focuses on developing a feminist jurisprudence of ageing, with a specific emphasis on older women’s equality and rights in both UK and international contexts. You’ll explore how legal frameworks shape, and are shaped by, older women’s lived experiences, across areas such as pensions and economic security, anti-discrimination law, care provision (both formal and informal), and access to health care and related rights.
The role will involve work using a range of socio-legal research methods, including surveys, focus groups, interviews, and potentially other innovative and participatory approaches.
There is also the possibility of an additional part-time Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) role, which could complement this research post, depending on your interests and experience.
