The Department of Media and Communications at London School of Economics and Political Science is hiring a new Assistant Professor in Media and Communications, to begin September 2019. Applications are invited from outstanding candidates in the field of media and communications.

The successful candidate will join an established and successful department, ranked first in the UK’s 2014 Research Excellence Framework evaluation and third in the QS 2016 world university rankings. The Department is known for its distinctive interdisciplinary approach to the field of media and communications, primarily based in the social sciences, but also open to humanities perspectives.

Candidates must have expertise in one or more of the following areas of research: audiences and cultural politics, and/or media for development.  Within these primary areas, we are particularly (though not exclusively) interested in candidates with research and theoretical expertise in the Global South, with a focus on issues of marginality and social justice, especially around sexuality, race, class and disability.

In addition to a competitive salary the benefits that come with this job include an occupational pension scheme, a research incentive scheme with personal reward options, generous research leave (sabbatical) entitlement, a collegial faculty environment and excellent support, training and development opportunities. Queries about the role may be addressed to the Head of the Department, Professor Sarah Banet-Weiser ([log in to unmask]).

 

Applications are now open and close on 22 October. You can find full details on LSE Jobs – please share with your networks.
