To further strengthen our research and teaching portfolio the Department of Politics wishes to appoint two Lecturers in any field of Quantitative Political Science from September 2023. While we welcome candidates from any area of quantitative political science, in order to broaden the remit of the Department we would especially welcome candidates working on the Global South and/or those who use use social media and digital tracing data in the study of politics

The successful candidates will be based in the Democracy and Elections cluster. Research undertaken within this cluster focuses on a number of themes in quantitative political science such as the challenges facing representative institutions and electoral politics, the decline of trust in democratic institutions, the weakening of established parties, increasing electoral volatility, the rise of populism, the increased use of digital campaigning in elections, electoral fraud, and gender and racial inequalities. Recent highlights have included the cluster hosting the ESRC-funded British Elections Study, led by Ed Fieldhouse, and the ERC Advanced Grant on Digital Campaigning and Electoral Democracy (DiCED), led by Rachel Gibson. The cluster sits within the larger Department of Politics, whose research strengths were recently reflected in the 2021 REF in which the Department was placed 8th out of 56 in the UK on Grade Point Average (GPA), 5th on publications and 3rd on 4* publications.

Applicants must have a relevant PhD and demonstrate the ability to produce high quality internationally excellent publications, meet flexible curricular and teaching needs, and demonstrate capability to contribute organisationally to the wider School community.
