Job description

Lecturer in Global Political Economy

Are you an academic with an interest in playing a key role in developing undergraduate and postgraduate modules and programmes in Global Political Economy (GPE)?

You will be a scholar committed to teaching and scholarship. The post offers the opportunity to teach in a school undergoing portfolio reform to deliver modules aligned with our strategic vision to study and teach the politics of global challenges. The school provides a diverse, inclusive, and digitally-informed student experience. The lectureship also allows successful candidates to conduct scholarship in areas such as innovations in blended learning, building digital platforms for international teaching collaborations, or other pedagogic projects.

You will work closely with the Programme Director and the teaching team at POLIS to assist in expanding the GPE programme. The team of 7 staff has developed innovative GPE pedagogy and scholarship, involving diverse expertise and approaches, including North-South perspectives, traditional and non-traditional methods, and the use of business analytics data in teaching and research on Capitalism in Practice. Candidates will also teach undergraduate programmes and supervise research students as appropriate.

Applicants should have a relevant doctorate and be capable of independently engaging with a wide range of people, contributing to and expanding the existing teaching, research, and scholarship in GPE. Excellent analytical and writing skills are required. The role involves coordinating key programme elements, organizing outreach events, fostering regional linkages, and contributing to the pedagogical development of the programmes as they evolve.
