You will have the ability and willingness to act as Module Director and teach on both UG and PGT level modules including PO3A7 Gender War and Militarism and PO102 Political Research in the 21st Century alongside other core modules. You will also support the supervision of dissertations at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The successful candidate will possess an honours degree or equivalent, and a PhD or equivalent (awarded or near completion) in a relevant discipline.
