Department of Gender Studies

Assistant Professor in Gender, Peace and Security

Salary is no less than £61,446 per annum inclusive and the salary scale can be found on the LSE website

The Department of Gender Studies was established in 1993 to address major intellectual challenges posed by contemporary gender relations. This remains a central aim of the Department today, which is the largest postgraduate research and teaching unit of its kind in Europe. The Department’s research and teaching combines theory and practice with interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives. 

We are looking to recruit an Assistant Professor with outstanding research potential to teach on our interdisciplinary MSc in Gender, Peace, and Security. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct and publish outstanding quality research. In addition to teaching on and convening the MSc in Gender, Peace and Security, the successful candidate will also supervise MSc dissertations, contribute to PhD training, and contribute to team-taught courses in interdisciplinary gender theories, epistemologies and methodologies, or other courses as directed. They will contribute to the Department, working effectively as part of a team, and possess the ability to adapt to varying demands. 

Candidates should have expertise and research interests in interdisciplinary Gender Studies and its application to the fields of peace and conflict studies; international politics; and/or international relations, law, and policy. Specifically, we are looking for a candidate with expertise in any of the following areas: gender, conflict, and security; gendered regimes of security, terror, and violence; or gender and militarisation. A research interest in either Africa, East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, or in the Middle East would be desirable.

In addition, knowledge of the following is essential:

  • Anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and decolonial approaches to Gender Studies
  • Black feminist and intersectional epistemologies and methodologies
  • Transnational feminist theories and methodologies.

At the time of application, candidates will have a completed PhD in social sciences or the humanities. They will have a track record of internationally excellent publications, and a well-developed strategy for future outstanding research. Candidates must have a proven commitment to inclusive, interdisciplinary, and international-focused teaching. Experience in teaching substantively on gender at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level is essential and the ability to teach introductory and advanced topics in gender, peace and security at postgraduate level is also required.

The post is tenable from 1st September 2024.
