Lecturer in Intelligence Studies

The Department of War Studies seeks to recruit a Lecturer in Intelligence Studies, to support our BA teaching as well as the MA programme in Intelligence and International Security (IIS), and to undertake high-quality research.

We welcome applications from a broad range of expertise within Intelligence and International Security with a preference for, but not limited to, those working on non-Western intelligence cultures; OSINT; intelligence and policymaking; intelligence analysis and assessment; or intelligence and AI.

The successful candidate will contribute by planning, organising, and delivering core as well as elective modules at BA and MA-level. The successful candidate will be expected to design and develop new modules in line with their research expertise and in support of the expansion of our research profile in this area. They will understand and develop a variety of methods to deliver these modules and to assess students learning and provide feedback.

Beyond teaching and administrative duties, the successful candidate, upon completion of their probation, will be expected to supervise PhD students. They will commit to undertake high-quality research in their subject area, and publish in recognised journals, with research mentorship offered in support of this activity. The role holder will further maintain research activities and connect through a portfolio of individual and/or joint research projects and work to secure external funding required. This includes supporting the current work of the King's Intelligence and Security Group and cooperating in furthering its research and grant ambitions.

War Studies is located within the School of Security Studies and the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy. Together, we support an inclusive culture and diversity for our staff and students. We are committed to encourage further growth from diverse groups, and we look forward to welcoming applicants of all abilities, whom we are able to support with our flexible varied working practices.

This post will be offered on a full-time, indefinite contract.
