Lecturer in Global Politics

The department of European & International Social & Political Studies (EISPS) is looking to appoint a Lecturer in Global Politics. EISPS is a multidisciplinary department centred around the delivery of three undergraduate degrees, with a developing culture of research on European and international affairs and area studies. It is housed within UCL’s Faculty of Arts and Humanities. The department brings together the humanities and social sciences, with strengths in European and international history, law, philosophy and politics, alongside a strong commitment to language teaching. The successful candidate will become a key part of our team with the task of consolidating our excellent teaching record and developing the department’s research profile.

We are looking for a Lecturer in Global Politics with an interest in multidisciplinary education and research, and an ability to teach undergraduate classes on social science methods. The successful candidate will contribute to the department in all facets, including research, teaching, pastoral care, supervision, and administrative duties. This will involve convening three undergraduate modules (or equivalent) over the course of the academic year, as well as contributing to jointly taught modules, taking on an appropriate administrative/enabling role, and developing the departmental research culture. We are seeking a candidate with an ambitious research agenda and a proven track record at a level appropriate for the role. The candidate will demonstrate an interest and ability to engage in multidisciplinary research and teaching in global politics, international studies or international relations. Candidates with a regional/area specialization are also encouraged to apply.

The postholder will have a PhD in a relevant area such as global politics, international studies or international relations, or another closely related area of political science. Previous experience of teaching, research and engagement in a university department is highly advantageous, as is experience connecting scholarship, policy and practice, and evidence of external grant success. The post holder will also be expected to participate in the development of a new dual degree in global governance with an international partner.
