Work with Us
The Institute for the Study of Power, Crime, and Society is a hub for research, training and education on topics such as criminal and illegal governance, political violence and radicalization, and populism. We use an interdisciplinary approach and quantitative methodologies to produce solid evidence addressing both applied problems and fundamental theoretical challenges.
We welcome expressions of interest from outstanding students who intend to pursue a PhD in the Institute's research areas. We also welcome visits to the Institute from researchers at any career stage. To explore opportunities for collaborations, contact the Institute director, Prof. Giovanni Travaglino (email: giovanni.travaglino@rhul.ac.uk).
