Lecturer in Political Economy
About the Role
The School of Politics and International Relations is seeking an exceptional scholar for the role of Lecturer in Political Economy (Teaching and Scholarship).
The position is open with regards to areas of interest within the fields of Political Economy, at a national or global scale. We particularly welcome applications from scholars using political economy approaches to analyse empirical developments relating to China, development, or financialisation, and those interested in political economy theory. The role holder will contribute to the development of a new MA in International Political Economy. They should be committed to and able to teach a range of theoretical approaches in critical dialogue with one another, to help students develop their own perspective.
The Lecturer will also be expected to make contributions to scholarship, which Queen Mary defines as pedagogical reflection and innovation; enhancement of student experience and education; influencing the higher education agenda; and wider public engagement connected to the subject area.
About You
You will have a PhD (or equivalent) in Politics, International Politics, Political Economy or relevant Social Sciences/Humanities area. You will contribute to teaching and scholarship within the School, and to take a significant role in developing our pedagogical practices, particularly in the areas of student engagement, academic skills and writing development, and assessment and feedback. You will have an understanding of the opportunities and challenges involved in teaching a diverse student cohort. Experience of contributing to citizenship roles in a large, dynamic school is essential.
