About this position

Leiden University’s Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology is offering a full-time PhD position on financial vulnerability and criminal fines in the Netherlands. The project examines how financial vulnerability may affect the imposition and enforcement of criminal fines, how fines impact people in practice, and how these issues relate to core legal principles.

The doctoral researcher will combine social-scientific and legal research in a socio-legal project. The work includes interviews, statistical analysis with R, and analysis of case law. The research is embedded in the Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology and connected to the faculty’s broader research environment in criminal justice and effective criminal proceedings.

The position is jointly supervised by scholars from criminal law and criminology, reflecting its interdisciplinary character. The candidate will work with a team that contributes to research and teaching in criminology, criminal law, and criminal procedure, while also participating in academic activities organized by the institute.

Alongside the dissertation research, the PhD candidate will contribute to teaching and to the wider research programme in criminal justice. The advertised position is based at Leiden University’s Faculty of Law, which operates across Leiden and The Hague and emphasizes multidisciplinary, socially relevant research and education.
