Associate Professorship of International Relations

The Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR), in association with St Catherine’s College, is seeking to appoint an Associate Professor of International Relations. Applications are welcome from both early career and established scholars. The Department has particular needs in the international relations of the Middle East, China, Russia, Africa; international political economy (IPE); and international organization. As the Department has recently recruited to posts in other areas (including the micro- foundations of conflict, political psychology, and historical international relations), it does not have particular needs in those areas at the moment.

The successful candidate will be expected to conduct advanced research; to teach, supervise, and examine in international relations at the undergraduate and graduate level; to play a part in the administrative work of the Department; to provide teaching and pastoral support for undergraduates reading Politics at St Catherine’s College; to share in the administrative work, act as a trustee for the College, and to act as a College adviser for graduate students (a first point of contact, distinct from actual thesis supervision). The post will be held in conjunction with a Tutorial Fellowship at St Catherine’s College.  The post-holder shall be allocated an office in College for teaching. 

The post will be held in conjunction with a Tutorial Fellowship at St Catherine’s College. The post-holder will receive additional benefits that include USS pension, a college housing allowance of £9,767 p.a. which is paid as taxable, pensionable income, and potential for access to college accommodation during the first year in post. 

If you would like to discuss this post and find out more about joining the academic community at Oxford, please contact Dr Nicholas Owen nicholas.owen@politics.ox.ac.uk and Professor Marc Mulholland marc.mulholland@stcatz.ox.ac.uk. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection decision.
