Job description
The Department of Political Economy seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Gender in Political Theory. The successful candidate will contribute to the Department through (quantitative and/or qualitative) research and teaching that centre on the history of gender and feminism in political theory and/or the role of political theory in illuminating and evaluating contemporary gendered relations in society.
The Department is informed by an inclusive interdisciplinary vision and welcomes applications from candidates who share that vision. The Department values diversity and inclusion and a work-life balance.
The Department of Political Economy is a unique interdisciplinary enterprise located in the heart of London with proximity to both the world of politics and the City. Founded in 2010, it is the only dedicated Department of Political Economy in the United Kingdom. The teaching and research recognises, that the disciplines of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics are inextricably linked: it is not possible to properly understand political processes without exploring the economic or value contexts in which politics operates. Similarly, sound economic analysis requires an awareness of how resource allocation is conditioned both by the values and principles of individuals and communities, and by political and legal institutions, and the way these have been understood by different traditions in social thought.
You will be responsible to the Head of Department. More information about the Department, School and Faculty can be found on the King’s website:
