Lecturer in International Relations

The School of Government and Public Policy seeks to appoint a scholar in the field of International Relations (IR) at Lecturer level (equivalent to Assistant Professor in the US). The role is offered as an open-ended (continuing) contract.

Candidates should engage in research from an empirical perspective with quantitative or mixed methods. We are open with regard to area of research across IPE and conflict but are particularly interested in the following substantive areas: climate change; environmental conflict; international organisations; global health; cyber security; autonomous/AI weapons; global finance and trade.

The School has a dynamic cluster of emerging IR scholars, who work on various topics, often using quantitative methods, including international and civil conflict, the arms trade, the international political economy of climate change, and feminism and social movements. The candidate will engage with this group to develop our IR teaching programme and major collaborative projects.

Candidates will have a good honours degree, a PhD (or equivalent) in a related field, a body of published research in high-quality publications demonstrating standards of excellence and relevant teaching experience at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels.

In keeping with our commitment to equality and diversity and to broaden the School’s geographical scope, we encourage applications from all sections of the community, particularly those from currently underrepresented backgrounds.

There will be two stages of formal interviews for this post which will likely be held towards the end of May 2022.

We would love to chat with anyone seeking further details about the position, Department, and/or University! Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor Anthony McGann, Head of School (Email: anthony.mcgann@strath.ac.uk) or Dr. Richard Johnson, search committee chair (Email: richard.johnson@strath.ac.uk).
