The Role

The Governance and Political Organisations Cluster, the Quantitative Methods in Politics Research Group and Environmental Politics Research Group bring together interdisciplinary and methodologically diverse set of scholars of political participation and behaviour, political communication, elections, institutions, democratic processes, environmental politics, and sustainability.

You will conduct research in comparative politics and contribute to teaching on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
