The School of Law and Politics is seeking to appoint an outstanding candidate to join our internationally-renowned Department of Politics and International Relations. The Department of Politics and International Relations is a dynamic and growing part of the inter-disciplinary School of Law and Politics. We are an intellectually pluralist and diverse community, with internationally-recognised and established strengths in political theory; Welsh politics and devolution; British political history; and European politics.
In recent years the department has invested heavily in enhancing its strength in international relations and global politics, and now has a strong research profile in areas including cold war history; cyber-security; critical international theory; gender studies; international law; and intelligence studies. Research and teaching across the department embraces a variety of intellectual and methodological approaches. Moreover, being situated in a School of Law and Politics presents opportunities to innovate across disciplinary boundaries in both teaching and research.
We are seeking to appoint an outstanding candidate (Lecturer Grade 6) in politics with the ability to teach existing modules covering European populism and either comparative politics or research methods. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to teach to a high standard, and will be expected to contribute to the teaching programme of the department at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The successful candidate will further possess a proven ability in effective and persuasive communication to a variety of academic and non-academic audiences.
Cardiff University is committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity and to creating an inclusive working environment. We believe this can be achieved through attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse range of staff from many different backgrounds. We therefore welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, trans identity, relationship status, religion or belief, caring responsibilities, or age. We especially welcome and encourage applications from those from under-represented groups within the University workforce, such as those who identify as LGBT+, Ethnic Minority or those with disabilities. In supporting our employees to achieve a balance between their work and their personal lives, we will also consider proposals for flexible working or job share arrangements.
Applications may be submitted in Welsh, and an application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application submitted in English.
