The Department of Gender Studies addresses the major intellectual challenges posed by contemporary changes in gender relations around the globe and is the largest research and teaching unit of its kind in Europe. Academic staff come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, but we are united in our commitment to mapping and intervening in the gendered nature of social processes, and in our belief that an integrated interdisciplinary and global approach is needed to do so. In our research and teaching we combine theory and practice, with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. 

We are looking to recruit an LSE Fellow to teach primarily interdisciplinary gender studies and contribute to our core course teaching on the following MSc Programmes: MSc in Gender; MSc Gender, Media and Culture and MSc Gender (Rights and Human Rights). An LSE Fellow post presents an excellent starting point for an early career academic to gain teaching experience while developing their research career.

Candidates should have:

• An awarded PhD at the time of application in social sciences, humanities or an area otherwise related to the teaching needs of the post.
• Excellent knowledge of interdisciplinary gender scholarship including in areas of gender theories, rights and human rights and gender and popular culture. 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 approaches
• A developing research record in interdisciplinary gender studies.

We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
