Applicants should have a research profile that engages with themes within planning and has clear relevance to and impact on planning policy and practice.The postholder will have an ability to transfer their original research into planning policy and practice related teaching at multiple scales from the neighbourhood to the international  and have a keen interest in developing interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary links in research and teaching. An awareness of the professionally orientated nature of the discipline is essential and knowledge and/or experience of the requirements, or membership, of a planning profession relevant body (e.g. RTPI, RICS, IEMA, TCPA) would be an advantage. We particularly welcome applications from scholars who identify with groups who continue to be underrepresented and who face barriers to inclusion in higher education and/or who are from Majority World or any related diaspora. We believe that a diverse and supportive environment, bringing different perspectives to our work and allowing people to blossom is the best platform for excellent teaching.
