Be part of a thriving research, education, and knowledge exchange culture
Applications are invited for two Research Fellows in Politics and International Relations to support a major expansion supported by the University from 2023/24 onwards that will further strengthen the thriving research, education and knowledge exchange culture of the Department of Politics and International Relations (PAIR) at the University of Southampton. The department has a world-leading reputation for its research in democratic governance and global political society, across areas such as political trust, democratic innovations, comparative politics, political psychology, environmental justice, global health, migration, and development. It has a strong reputation in the application of cutting-edge research methods, ranging from political ethnography to experimental social science.
PAIR is currently home to several major UKRI and ERC grants, and hosts holders of British Academy Postdoctoral and Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships, and the Jean Monnet Chair in European Security Governance. The University of Southampton is in the top 1% of world Universities and one of the UK’s top 15 research–intensive universities. It hosts the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods and ESRC South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership.
You will contribute to the planning, development and writing of research funding applications, both independently and in collaboration with other researchers and research groups within the Department. You will demonstrate evidence of research grant writing and funding seeking strategies. We are particularly looking for candidates who can engage with and support grant applications in existing areas of research strength:
- Migration
- Global health
- Gender and representation
- Democracy, governance and trust
- Political psychology
- Democratic innovations and digital politics
- Conflict and security
You will share our ambition for producing world-leading and agenda-setting research and securing major grants and fellowships from national and international funders, playing an active part in our academic community. You will share our aspirations to foster and maintain a collegiate, supportive, and inclusive culture of research and education.
You will have an emerging national and international reputation, publish in internationally leading academic journals, and have shown willingness to engage in ‘knowledge exchange’ that translates your research into practice via policy, civil society, media, or other forms of external engagement.
The School of Economic, Social and Political Sciences is committed to promoting equality and diversity and holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award demonstrating this commitment. We strongly encourage applications from candidates from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, people who identify as LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and those from poorer/less educationally advantaged backgrounds.
As part of our commitment to supporting our research community we are open to flexible working. We give full consideration to applicants that wish to work flexibly including part-time and those who have taken a career break. We also are proud to recently have been awarded the Race quality Charter Bronze award, where we have been commended for our commitment to improve race equality across the University community.
For further information, you are welcome to contact the Head of Department of Politics & International Relations, Professor Pia Riggirozzi ([email protected] ), or the Associate Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor Will Jennings ([email protected] ).
