Scottish Institute for Policing Research

SIPR Associate Director

Applications Invited

SIPR Associate Director – Education and Leadership Network

Following Professor Denise Martin’s decision to step down from her role as SIPR Associate Director and lead of the Education and Leadership network, SIPR is now inviting applications from prospective candidates to take on this role.

SIPR is a strategic collaboration between 15 of Scotland’s Universities, along with Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority (SPA). The institute aims to support internationally excellent, multi-disciplinary policing research to enable evidence informed policy and practice.

The purpose of the Education and Leadership Network is to promote policing research in the area of education, training, learning and leadership, and support areas such as continuing professional development through engagement activities and events. It also has a role in supporting the postgraduate community. The network connects to SIPR’s third strategic research priority on ‘policing systems capability and resilience’, given its focus on various matters relating to workforce (recruitment, retention, well-being); culture, diversity and inclusion; organisational change; and training, learning, education and leadership.
