Are you an ambitious researcher with a commitment to promoting positive social change through your research? Are you passionate about delivering innovative student education in a research-intensive university? Does your research and teaching offer important new insights into key contemporary themes in critical geopolitics including militarization, new security threats, hybrid forms of warfare, global conflict, and/or the dynamics of contemporary extremist movements
The School of Geography is seeking to recruit a new Lecturer in Critical Human Geography with a specialisation in critical geopolitics. The School is home to the Social Justice, Cities, and Citizenship (SJCC) Cluster, where, in the context of increasingly diverse societies, unequal cities and uneven impacts of climate change, we develop innovative research, often in collaboration with civil society organisations and community groups, to overcome discrimination, injustice and disempowerment and to achieve a fairer world. We are involved in a variety of local to international research partnerships from small NGOs to government departments. This work is underpinned by our successful record of external funding from a variety of national and international sources such as UKRI research councils, European Union, British Academy and the charitable sector. Colleagues in the School collaborate widely across campus and are actively involved with interdisciplinary initiatives and programmes such as the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures, the Leeds Institute for Societal Futures, the Leeds Migration Research Network, the Global Food and Environment Institute, the MSc in Sustainable Cities, MSc in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Security, and the new MSc AI Ethics and Society. The School is based in the Faculty of Environment, a faculty which is in the process of aligning with the Faculty of Social Sciences over the coming year.
Please note that this post may be suitable for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa route but first-time applicants might need to qualify for salary concessions. For more information please visit: www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa.
For research and academic posts, we will consider eligibility under the Global Talent visa. For more information please visit: https://www.gov.uk/global-talent
What we offer in return
• 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!

And much more!
