The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is dedicated to training a substantial number of British Army and International officers annually. As part of the Faculty of Leadership, Security and Warfare, you will contribute to a pivotal educational experience for these officers. The Faculty comprises a collaborative team of over 40 scholars across three specialized departments: Communication and Applied Behavioural Science, Defence and International Affairs, and War Studies. Together with esteemed institutions such as the University of Reading and the Henley Business School, we deliver foundational courses in Leadership and Strategic Studies.

As a member of Sandhurst, a globally recognized leadership institution, you will engage with a network of prestigious academic organizations. Opportunities for applied academic work during field training exercises across Europe and delivering courses to military audiences worldwide will be available.

Research and Development

CABS encourages scholarly research in leadership, behavioural science, psychology, sociology, conflict resolution, and defence studies. The primary focus of this role is teaching, which includes leading seminars for small groups of students. A strong commitment to education, research engagement, and a desire to publish are essential. We support personal development tailored to individual needs, including opportunities for doctoral studies, teaching qualifications, and research sabbaticals.
