Oxford Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Professor Doctor Obi Full time

Oxford Department of International Development, Queen Elizabeth House, 3 Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TB

The Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) seeks applications for a two-years, full-time Departmental Lectureship in Development Studies. The Departmental Lecturer will provide teaching and supervision for the MPhil in Development Studies and carry out related independent research.

The Departmental Lecturer will be responsible to the Head of Department and work under the supervision of the Course Director of the MPhil in Development Studies.

We would welcome applications from those with research and teaching interests in social/cultural anthropology, and with an ability to teach in an inter- and multi-disciplinary development studies programme. A regional interest in Latin America is desirable but not required. The MPhil seeks to promote diversification and decolonization of the curriculum and teaching approaches.

The postholder will hold, or be close to completion of a doctorate in social/cultural anthropology, or in an interdisciplinary field such as development studies, with a grounding in anthropological theory and methods. They will have an aptitude for teaching and some experience of teaching and research. They will also have an academic publication record commensurate with stage of career.

This post is full-time and fixed-term for 2 years (with possibility of extension for further year)

At ODID we embrace and cherish our differences, and endeavour to be considerate and welcoming of all. You are most welcome at ODID, without the need to hide any part of who you are. We acknowledge societal inequalities and how these affect us, and those around us, personally and professionally. We hold an Athena Swan bronze award in recognition of our efforts to introduce organisational and cultural changes which promote equality, cherish diversity and create a better working environment for all. We are also taking active steps to promote race equality and reduce the risk of bias and discrimination. We work together to enrich, fortify and grow our community and dedicate our combined efforts to teaching and research to increase our impact and influence in development debates at the national and global level. We encourage all eligible candidates to apply for our vacancies and join us in pursuing our goals.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a supporting statement as part of your online application.

Queries about the post should be addressed to the MPhil Course Director, Dr Simukai Chigudu, Associate Professor of African Politics (simukai.chigudu@qeh.ox.ac.uk). All practical and procedural queries should be sent to our recruitments team: recruitment@qeh.ox.ac.uk. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence; they will not form part of the selection decision.

Only applications received before 12 midday on 31 May 2024 can be considered.

£36,024 to £44,263. STANDARD GRADE 7
