Politics at Exeter is a large, diverse, collegial, and pluralistic department, with sixty permanent faculty members across two campuses (in Devon and Cornwall). The areas in which we specialise include international relations, public policy, political theory, comparative politics, political behaviour and quantitative and qualitative research methods. The last two national research assessment exercises (REF2014 and RAE2008) have placed us firmly in the top ten UK departments. We offer a diverse and globalised teaching curriculum at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Over half of our staff members are non-UK and we warmly welcome applications from international candidates, as well as those from women, ethnic minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and applicants with disabilities.

The role

The post of Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Public Policy will contribute to extending the research profile of Politics at Exeter. We are particularly, but not exclusively, interested in candidates who specialise in the areas of transnational administrations and global policy; public administration and management; British public policy; gender, intersectionality and sexuality; and/or policy evaluation and analysis. While we have strengths in European public policy, we also would welcome applicants with expertise that would extend our global coverage.
