The role

Join an applied research centre that contributes to a safer, secure and resilient society through the development of cutting-edge technologies.

The Centre of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence & Organised Crime Research (CENTRIC) is looking for a motivated and enthusiastic front-end developer to play a key role in the delivery of new and innovative technologies for the security sector across a range of projects.

You will be working as part of a dedicated project team in CENTRIC collaborating with European partners that research and develop applications to support the fight against crime and terrorism. In this role, you will be involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle with a primary focus on designing, developing and implementing user interfaces for various applications such as intelligence management, analytics and community engagement. Experience of developing web application using JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and build tools such as Webpack are essential for this role.

The department

The Centre of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence and Organised Crime Research (CENTRIC) is a multidisciplinary, security-focused research centre at Sheffield Hallam University. We collaborate with research, government, industry and security stakeholders to address contemporary security challenges at the local, national and international levels. We are a diverse team of researchers, technology specialists and security experts focused on delivering tangible solutions for law enforcement and other security stakeholders.

We aim to bridge the gap between cutting-edge applied research and the operational reality of policing and security, building a safer society for all. We work to transform innovative ideas into outcomes that protect and safeguard our communities, shape the landscape of policing and security practices, and ensure a more resilient future. Our collaborative ethos ensures practitioners, policymakers and researchers have a platform to work together to deliver exceptional applied research in the security domain.

Our work focuses on the following key domains:

• Artificial intelligence in policing and security
• Child sexual abuse and exploitation
• Counter-terrorism and national security
• Crisis management and disaster resilience
• Cybercrime and online harms
• Open-source intelligence and investigation
• Serious and organised crime
