Job description

Queen's University Belfast is a driver of innovation and talent based on excellence. Throughout the University, our academics are collaborating across disciplines and with outside agencies and institutions on projects of world significance. We are connected and networked with strategic partnerships across the world, helping us to expand our impact on wider society locally, nationally and globally. The University is committed to attracting, retaining and developing the best global talent within an environment that enables them to realise their full potential.

We are a leader in gender equality and diversity, and are one of the UK's most successful universities in the Athena SWAN initiative which promotes gender equality and career progression. We are ranked 1st in the UK for knowledge transfer partnerships, (Innovate UK) 9th in the UK for University facilities (Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2018) and 14th in the UK for research quality (Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019).

Based in Belfast, a modern capital city, our beautiful campus is surrounded by abundant acres of parkland and is renowned as one of the safest and affordable cities in the UK. The choice of local Schools from pre-nursery upwards are some of the best available, and lovers of the outdoors can enjoy any number of activities from rowing and kayaking to top class golf among many others. We are immensely proud of what our city and our University will offer you.

The Economics group at Queen's Management School is renowned for its high-quality research and its excellent teaching standards as indicated by REF2014, National Student Survey and Times Higher rankings. Our academics have research interests across many fields of economics including economic history, health economics, labour economics, economic growth, development economics, environmental economics, welfare economics, political economy, game theory, and the economics of networks. The group is responsible for several undergraduate programmes in Economics and launched a new MSc programme in Economics in 2015/16. The successful applicant will be a committed teacher as well as have the potential to publish in journals of an international standard in any field of Economics although the School is particularly keen to attract those with expertise in macroeconomics; public economics; health, education and welfare economics; and labour economics.
