Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. We particularly welcome applications from individuals who identify as Black, candidates with a disability, and from women in all stages of life, including pregnancy and maternity leave, as these groups are currently under-represented in these academic fields at Queen Mary. While the roles are full time, we positively welcome applications from those who wish to work part time. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. Job share requests for this post will be considered, so please state this clearly on your application if appropriate. We are also open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
