Research Fellow in Gender, Development and International Relations

Are you an academic with interest in gender, development and international relations?

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge?

Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research-intensive Universities?

You will work with Dr Sahla Aroussi, Dr Emma-Louise Anderson, Dr Laura Considine and Prof Anna Mdee to develop and collaborate on a number of their research projects. You will have a relevant doctorate in a topic related to gender, international development and international relations. You will deal independently with a wide range of people and support existing research as well as conducting new research. You will possess excellent analytical and writing skills and the ability to deal with a variety of tasks to set deadlines. The ability to work alone or as part of a team are essential, along with strong organisational skills.

The School of Politics and International Studies values an inclusive working and teaching environment and our aim is to develop a diverse staff and student community reflective of this. We select candidates on the basis of merit and ability and aspire to further diversify our School and Faculty community. We particularly welcome applications from candidates belonging to groups that have been under represented in the University including, but not limited to: Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and disabled people.
