College Looking for Lap Dance Researcher

Dec 5, 2009, 2:53 PM

Anyone interested?

A British university is seeking a lap-dance researcher who has experience studying the erotic dance industry.

The University of Leeds advertised the position for its school of sociology and social policy, according to the Telegraph . The ad reads: "Research Officer - The rise and regulation of lap dancing and the place of sexual labor and consumption in the night time economy."

It further stipulates that "prior experience of conducting research in the female sex industry" is essential.

Once the job is filled, the person is to help with research into the "rise, tolerance and integration of sexual consumption and sexual labor displayed through the erotic dance industry."

Sociologists at Leeds plan to interview 300 exotic dancers in northern English cities for their study as well as managers and regulators.

london,

Good for you. by the way, there was a typo above. "prior experience of conducting research in the female sex industry" should have read male. Good luck!

If only Clubber :-) Goes to show how warped our authorities are when the country is almost bankrupt and they pay out in excess of 30k GBP (circa. $45,000) for this.

If U.Fla ever sponsored such a study, I would be there in a minute. Hopefully they'll Roll over the Tide today, big game!

I would only be interested if it offered unlimited overtime.

Tx, you're so greedy, would 8 hours a day/night 5 days a week not be enough for you? :-)

So much to sample, quality research demands the dedication of time and objective evaluation, sometimes having to review the subjects several times.
