Postdoctoral research post: Sex Abuse within the Catholic Church

Three-year postdoctoral research vacancy at Durham University, UK, on the project: Boundary Breaking: Exploring the Ecclesial Implications of Sex Abuse within the Catholic Church.   

This is an excellent opportunity for an ECR. The candidate needs a thorough knowledge of Catholic ecclesial systems and a competence in the scholarly analysis of the doctrine and practice of the Catholic Church. In the light of the experienced difficulties facing the church, how might positive change be facilitated? Candidates will be required to work with a broad range of people, and with complex and sensitive issues; candidates will also need to be sensitive to gender and power dynamics. A job share will also be considered. Please see below for more details:
