This is a career development position and is fixed term for two years, starting in September 2025.

An LSE Fellowship is intended to be an entry route to an academic career and is deemed by the School to be a career development position.  As such, applicants who have already been employed as a LSE Fellow for three years in total are not eligible to apply. If you have any queries about this please contact the HR Division.

The Department of Gender Studies addresses the major intellectual challenges posed by contemporary changes in gender relations around the globe and is the largest research and teaching unit of its kind in Europe. Academic staff come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, but we are united in our commitment to mapping and intervening in the gendered nature of social processes, and in our belief that an integrated interdisciplinary and global approach is needed to do so. In our research and teaching we combine theory and practice, with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. 

We are looking to recruit an LSE Fellow to teach primarily on our MSc programme in Gender, Policy and Inequalities and to contribute to our core courses in gender theories and feminist epistemologies and methodologies. An LSE Fellow post presents an excellent starting point for an academic to gain teaching experience while developing their research career.

Candidates should have:

• A completed PhD at the time of application in social sciences, humanities or another area related to the teaching needs of the post.
• Excellent knowledge of interdisciplinary gender scholarship with expertise in any of the following areas: critical social policy, feminist demography, or feminist economics. In addition, knowledge of the following is essential: 
• Anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and decolonial approaches to Gender Studies 
• Black feminist and intersectional epistemologies and methodologies 
• Transnational feminist theories and methodologies

• A developing research record in interdisciplinary gender studies with a substantive focus on areas such as demography, development, economics, government, politics, social policy, or sociology. 

We offer an occupational pension scheme, generous annual leave and excellent training and development opportunities.
