Department of Social Policy

 

LSE Fellow (3 posts)

 

Salary from £35,432 to £42,860 pa inclusive of London allowance with potential to progress to £46,117 pa

 

These are fixed-term appointments, each for two years in the first instance, starting from 2 September 2019, with the possibility of an extension for a further year

 

The Department of Social Policy at LSE is the longest established in the UK and has received the highest possible rating in all Research Assessment Exercises carried out in the UK. The 2019 QS World University Rankings by Subject place the Department of Social Policy 1st in the world.

 

The Department is seeking to appoint 3 LSE Fellows who are able to make an important contribution to its teaching, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and to its research. An LSE Fellow post presents an excellent starting point for an academic to gain teaching experience while developing their research career.

 

You must have excellent communication skills. Relevant teaching experience at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels is desirable. Teaching-related administrative experience would be an advantage. By the posts’ start date, you will have completed or be close to obtaining a PhD in social policy or another area related to the needs of the posts; and you will have a developing research record in social and public policy. You will provide teaching on several courses across the department. The ability to teach on courses in either (a) Social Movements, Activism, and Social Policy, or (b) Education Policy, is a desirable criterion but not an essential criterion.

 

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