Transform Drug Policy Foundation is a Bristol-based charity leading national and international work on drug policy reform. We have developed detailed, innovative regulation models that have influenced drug policy reform globally. In the UK we work directly with local communities and key stakeholders to support the introduction of harm reduction interventions (including drug consumption facilities, Heroin Assisted Treatment and drug diversion schemes). Alongside our policy work, we engage in grassroots advocacy with families and communities most affected by punitive drug laws through our Anyone’s Child campaign and in allyships with social justice organisations.
This placement offers PhD researchers the opportunity to contribute to Transform’s evidence-based advocacy, research, and policy development. Current strategic areas include: comparative case studies of global cannabis reforms; the reparative potential of drug policy reform and social and racial justice; and exploring what legally regulated drug markets might look like from a gender perspective.
Depending on the student’s interests and expertise, tasks may include carrying out literature reviews, parliamentary/government research, drafting policy briefings or reports, supporting stakeholder engagement, and assisting with Transform’s communications and events. Transform will provide mentoring and supervision throughout, and a tailored work plan will be developed collaboratively at the outset. The placement suits researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds seeking to connect research with real-world impact.
