Job description

Global Health & Social Medicine is a unique interdisciplinary department at King’s College London founded in 2012. Its mission is to address the changing landscape of health and medicine from social science perspectives.
 
The Department invites applications for a Lecturer in Global Health & Social Medicine with a focus on the interrelationships between Environmental Justice and Health.
 
Candidates should hold a PhD and have an established research profile in a relevant social science field such as sociology, anthropology, political science, political economy, geography, health policy, demography, international development, science and technology studies, or a related relevant discipline or interdisciplinary field. Areas of expertise include but are not limited to: environmental public policy, health impacts of climate change, planetary health, demographics and climate justice, environmental gerontology, anti-racist and/or decolonial advocacy for environmental justice. We will also consider other areas of research at the interface of environmental justice, global health and/or social medicine. In addition to contributing environmental expertise, you will be expected to be well-positioned to collaborate with one or more of the Department’s Research Groups: Ageing & Society; Bioscience & Society; Culture, Medicine & Power; Mental Health & Society; Reproduction.  You should have a track-record of research, publications, and external funding relative to career stage.
 
You will be expected to make a major contribution to teaching on the Department’s undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes both in your own research specialism and one or more of the department’s core teaching areas such as global health and/or research methods. You will have relevant teaching experience and excellent communication skills.  Experience or familiarity with the academic environment in the UK is an advantage.  You will be expected to carry out administrative duties within the Department.  A commitment to collegiality is essential, as is the ability and willingness to engage in constructive dialogue with medical and biomedical researchers and practitioners, and with policy makers.  This post is responsible to the Head of Department of Global Health & Social Medicine.
 
At King’s, we are deeply committed to embedding good equality and diversity practice into all of our activities so that the university is an inclusive, welcoming and inspiring place to work and study, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation. King’s offers inclusive benefits to staff including flexible working, Enhanced Parental Leave, funds for Parents and Carers and the potential to join community staff networks.
 
Those appointed at Grade 7 will be expected to have a growing reputation within the academic field with a proven record of publications in international journals and will also have experience of teaching one or more modules at postgraduate or undergraduate level.
 
This post will be offered on a full-time, indefinite contract.
