About this position

This is a postdoctoral research position at the University of Trieste in Italy, focused on restorative justice and its implementation in the Italian legal system, with special attention to the regional context of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

The project combines doctrinal and empirical legal research. It begins with a systematic and critical analysis of the framework introduced by Legislative Decree No. 150/2022, examining its substantive, procedural, and organizational dimensions. The second part of the project involves fieldwork based on semi-structured interviews with criminal defense lawyers and judges active in the region, with some of the empirical activity taking place at the Camera Penale di Trieste over an expected period of four months, supported by tutoring from the host institution.

The post is designed to evaluate whether restorative justice instruments have been effectively adopted in local practice, identify the barriers to their use, and produce practical recommendations for more effective implementation. In addition to the research component, the role includes supplementary teaching with students and third-mission/public engagement activities in the field of criminal law.

The expected outputs include an open-access scientific publication and a training event for legal practitioners, making the position suitable for candidates interested in research that connects legal doctrine, practice, and knowledge transfer.

Eligibility information indicates a PhD or equivalent in a relevant field. The posting explicitly references English and Italian as languages, and the research field is listed as Juridical sciences. The application deadline is 16 November 2026 at 23:59 (Europe/Rome). Applications are to be submitted via the PICA Cineca portal.
