They will have recognised expertise in public policy, undertake research resulting in high quality publications with leading publishers, with a record of, and/or strong potential for, the raising of grant income, be able to show evidence of an established or developing record of excellence and innovation in teaching as well as exceptional engagement and outreach skills. The successful candidates will make a significant contribution to the Discipline and the School’s research culture and reputation in research, teaching and engagement both by developing their own individual profiles but also as members of a collegial team of scholars working in public policy and political science.
