Assistant Professor in Public Policy

The School of Government and International Affairs at Durham University seeks to appoint two talented individuals to the role of Assistant Professor in Public Policy. We are open-minded in relation to substantive and geographical focus, emphasising the excellence of research and the use of rigorous (qualitative or quantitative) empirical approaches to address important political questions above all.

The successful candidate will join colleagues in the Centre for Institutions and Political Behaviour, which provides a stimulating and supportive environment for developing and refining research projects and outputs, networking with colleagues within and beyond Durham and providing pump-priming financial support for research.

These posts offer an exciting opportunity to make a major contribution to the development of internationally excellent research and teaching while allowing you unrivalled opportunities to progress and embed your career in an exciting and progressive institution. Among other EDI initiatives, the department is currently in the process of diversifying its curriculum and this is a project we would be keen for the post-holder to contribute to.
