About this position
A fully funded PhD position is available at The Open University, based in Milton Keynes, UK, within the Centre for Protecting Women Online. The project focuses on how policing can better prevent and respond to technology-facilitated violence against women and girls (VAWG). Supervised by Professor Olga Jurasz and Dr Keely Duddin, the research will explore evidence-led, victim-centred, and intersectional strategies for addressing digital violence. Possible research themes include legitimacy and prevention, officer well-being and skills, suspect behaviour, and intersectionality and vulnerability.
The position offers a stipend of approximately £20,780 per year, full tuition coverage, and a research support grant. Applicants from around the world are encouraged to apply, provided they have a strong academic background in relevant fields such as law, criminology, or gender studies. The application deadline is 7 January 2026, and a pre-application webinar will be held on 11 December 2025.
