Career Development Fellow in International Political Economy

Durham University • Durham, GB • 2w ago

The School of Government and International Affairs at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to a fixed term Career Development Fellowship. Applicants should have research and teaching interests in the field of International Political Economy. We particularly welcome applicants with expertise in: East Asia; Europe-China relations. We are open minded in relation to the applicant s substantive and methodological focus, emphasising instead excellence in research and teaching.

This post offers an exciting opportunity to develop internationally excellent research/scholarship and teaching while providing unrivalled, tailored support for your career progression at an exciting and progressive institution. The successful candidate will join colleagues in the International Political Economy Group, which provides a stimulating and supportive environment for developing and refining research projects and outputs, networking with colleagues within and beyond Durham and and discussing cutting edge research in International Political Economy.

Given the developmental nature of this role it is not anticipated that the post will be extended beyond the initial fixed term. Following the end of the term, the role-holder will be in a strong position to apply for relevant permanent academic roles, should they arise, at Durham or elsewhere.

Successful applicants are normally expected to be within 8 years of completing their PhD, although career breaks for parental leave and/or health reasons will be considered. This is because the roles are aimed at early career academics who would benefit from a structured development programme and provision of both formal and on the job training. The posts are also open to those who are returning to academia after a career in another sector.

Successful applicants will ideally be in post as soon as possible following their appointment.
