This is an exciting opportunity for a junior researcher in trade policy to join a multi-million-pound ESRC-funded Research Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP). The Centre spans four departments in Sussex plus universities in all four UK nations, and comprises scholars from economics, law, business management, politics and international relations

The post holder will work on and contribute to the research of the CITP focusing on a comprehensive overview of the UK's approach to trade policy. This may require systematic searching of text and/or the interpretation of regulations, trade agreements and policy statements, analysis of qualitative data and contributing to the writing research outputs and commissioned work. Excellent command of the English language is also essential.

The successful candidate will have either an undergraduate or post-graduate degree in law or a related discipline such as political science, an interest in, and preferably experience of, international trade and trade policy. You should be keen to engage in trade related research.

This post forms part of a large group of trade scholars in Sussex which, as well as CITP, includes faculty and also Research Fellows in the UK Trade Policy Observatory (UKTPO). Collaboration and team working will be central to the work of both the CITP and the UKTPO, so being able to work closely with colleagues in a fast-moving and exciting area is important. This is an exciting time to join a dynamic and rapidly growing unit undertaking advanced research on international trade and trade policy.
