About the Department:
The SOAS Department of Politics and International Studies is a world-leading, research-led department, ranked 5th in the UK and 17th in the world (QS World University Rankings 2023).

We are pleased to invite applications for two Lecturer / Senior (T&R) Lecturer positions in Politics and/or International Relations starting in the Autumn of 2025.
The role holder will be expected to contribute to—and shape—the Department’s research profile as well as the delivery of our undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
Apart from the publication of outstanding academic research, the role holder will convene and teach both general and specialist modules (individually and with others), advise both undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations, supervise PhD theses (pending completion of a probationary period), and provide pastoral care for students. The role holder will also be expected to work in a collegial and collaborative manner with both academic and non-academic staff across the Department and the School.
Within the discipline of Politics and International Relations, the search is open as to disciplinary subfield and research specialism. Regional expertise is valued, and some experience running both on-campus and online modules, including Executive Education modules, will be beneficial.
