The advertisement further stipulates that “prior experience of conducting research in the female sex industry” is essential.
Having got the post, the successful applicant would work with the school’s team on a research project to examine the “rise, tolerance and integration of sexual consumption and sexual labour displayed through the erotic dance industry”, and the commercialisation of female sexuality and the female body.



Hmm, somehow i think there will be quite some volunteer-male-applicants for this position
´In this position´…hehe, excuse the pun!
fake site!! cleverly done, but fake
w00t? why is my uni doing that?
I’m thinking this is one of those ‘name and shame’ stunts. Whoever applies will have their picture and address posted on the internet.
Reminds me of a story I read a couple of months ago. A man in Manchester (I think,) phoned a number that was posted in the back pages of a magazine, under the title ‘Hear Me Moan’. He then got a voice recording of a wife moaning at her husband to clean the house. The man tried to sue the person who had posted the number, saying it was ‘false advertising’. The police refused to press charges, and a spokesman said, “He got what he deserved.”
