The School of Human Sciences has recently re-located to the fantastic and newly refurbished Dreadnought building on the World Heritage site at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. This move, along with the creation of new facilities, is part of significant investment in the School and part of a long-term plan to build internationally leading research and teaching in the Faculty.

You will be joining a School and Faculty that is building a strong interdisciplinary and cross-professional approach to solving the grand challenges facing society.
