Postdoctoral fellowships at the Centre for Transforming Sexuality and Gender (CTSG)

The CTSG at the University of Brighton homes welcomes post-doctoral scholars who work in a wide range of fields intersecting with the study of genders, sexualities and positive social change.

We are inviting applications from people within 12 months of completing their PhD. The fellowship scheme aims to support people in developing their research career, by undertaking a programme of research activities such as working on publications, networking, research and professional skills. The fellowships offer funding for one year full-time or two years part time.

The Centre has strengths in interdisciplinary research around 3 key areas:

  • LGBTQIA+ lives and communities
  • Health, care, and wellbeing
  • Gendered inequalities

The centre promotes anti-racist and gender-inclusive research practice across all fields.

We are committed to cutting edge local, national, and global research and community engagement that impacts policy and practice. The Centre has a thriving early career researcher community and members of the centre benefit from a rich programme of invited speakers, workshops, reading groups and networking events.

Successful Post-Doctoral Fellows will have the opportunity to work alongside researchers specialising in gender and sexualities research across a broad range of subject areas, and will work closely with a research mentor in the Centre to consolidate and develop their research. You can find out more about the Centre members’ research expertise on our website here
