These allow our students to experience the best of UCL Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and prepare them for international careers. The programmes combine specialisation in a humanity or social science with a broad base in European or international history, law, politics and philosophy as well as fluency in a foreign language.
The Department of European & International Social & Political Studies (EISPS) is looking to appoint a permanent, full-time Lecturer (Teaching) in International Relations. This post responds to a sustained and growing teaching need in International Relations across the department's current and future programmes. As a Grade 8 post, the role also carries a leadership dimension in shaping and coordinating the department's International Relations teaching provision, and in contributing to student support through personal tutoring at a time when the department is working to bring its student-staff ratio closer to the UCL average.
The successful candidate will provide teaching, supervision, curriculum leadership and associated administrative duties within EISPS, with primary responsibility for the department's teaching in International Relations. This will involve teaching across the academic year, including core modules in International Relations and Global Politics, and may include contributing to comparative or multidisciplinary options.
Candidates should demonstrate a broad and well-established expertise in International Relations, with particular interest in matters of security, conflict or political violence. Particular attention will be given to candidates with a strong record of multidisciplinary teaching, transnational education and curriculum development, and the ability to connect country-specific expertise to broader regional and comparative debates.
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits:
- 27 days annual leave, 8 bank holidays and 6 closure days
- Additional 5 days' annual leave purchase scheme
- Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)
- Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan
- Immigration loan
- Relocation scheme for certain posts
