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 Senior Lecturer/Reader in Racism and Health with a particular expertise in Qualitative Research.  We particularly seek applicants who engage in empirical research relevant to understanding lived experience of the impact of racism on health, either in the UK or in another geographic context. 
 
You should hold a PhD in any relevant social science (e.g., sociology, anthropology) or interdisciplinary field (e.g. science and technology studies; women’s, gender, sexuality studies). Areas of expertise include but are not limited to: Black British experiences in the UK health system; experiences of racism and health in another geographic context in Europe, Latin America, Australia, Africa, or elsewhere; patient and/or community health activism in a domain such as environmental justice, reproductive justice, disability rights, LGBTQ rights; Indigenous health; chronic disease; mental health; ageing and the life course. In addition to contributing to the department’s growing research profile on racism and health, you will be expected to be well-positioned to collaborate with one or more of the Department’s Research Groups: Bioscience & Society; Culture, Medicine & Power; Mental Health & Society; Ageing & Society; Reproduction.  You should have a track-record of research, publications, and external funding relative to career stage. We are seeking applicants with an outstanding track-record of social science research, publications and external funding relative to career stage, and who have the ability to demonstrate a clear leadership trajectory in research and teaching.  
 
You will be expected to make a major contribution to teaching on the Department’s undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, both in your research specialism and in one or more of the department’s core teaching areas such as social medicine and/or qualitative research methods, and to provide academic leadership in teaching and student supervision at all levels.  You will have relevant teaching experience and excellent communication skills.  You must have a proven ability to initiate and lead research projects and a record of attracting research grant income.  Experience or familiarity with the academic environment in the UK is an advantage.  You will be expected to carry out administrative duties at senior level within the Department, and the School of Global Affairs.  A commitment to collegiality is essential, as is the ability and willingness to engage in constructive dialogue with researchers and practitioners in a variety of contexts, and with policy makers.  You will be 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. 
 
If appointed at Reader level, you are expected to have an established international standing as demonstrated by important contributions to your subject advancement through publications, creative work or other appropriate forms of scholarship or performance, and through education.  
 
This post will be offered on a full-time, indefinite contract.
