About the Role

The School of Politics and International Relations is seeking an exceptional scholar for the role of Lecturer in Sociology (Teaching and Scholarship).

The position is open to all sociologists working at the intersection of sociological and political questions broadly construed. We are particularly interested in sociologists working in one of the following areas from the perspective of the everyday: global sociology; environmental and planetary politics; social processes of datafication and AI; and social media. The role holder will contribute to the development of a new MA in International Political Sociology.

The Lecturer will also be expected to make contributions to scholarship, which Queen Mary defines as pedagogical reflection and innovation; enhancement of student experience and education; influencing the higher education agenda; and wider public engagement connected to the subject area.

About You

You will have a PhD (or equivalent) in Sociology, International Political Sociology, or relevant Social Sciences/Humanities area. You will contribute to teaching and scholarship within the School, and to take a significant role in developing our pedagogical practices, particularly in the areas of student engagement, academic skills and writing development, and assessment and feedback. You will have an understanding of the opportunities and challenges involved in teaching a diverse student cohort. Experience of contributing to citizenship roles in a large, dynamic school is desirable.
