Lectureship in Political Theory

Are you a political theory academic with an open and inclusive approach to the discipline? Are you passionate about delivering an exceptional student experience in a research-intensive Russell Group University?

The School of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) at the University of Leeds is looking to appoint a Lecturer in Political Theory to a fixed-term position for 12 months. While the precise specialism within political theory is open - analytic, continental, critical, decolonial, feminist, non-Western, etc. - the School is looking for someone with a strong track record in teaching and scholarship who will engage closely with colleagues in the Centre for Contemporary Political Theory, to complement and develop existing strengths, and in the Centre for Teaching Innovation and Scholarship to be part of a thriving community of Teaching and Scholarship in the School.
