Lecturer in Human Geography
School of Geography
University of Leeds
The School of Geography wishes to appoint a Lecturer in Human Geography whose interests will complement the work of its Citizenship and Belonging Research Cluster. The Cluster currently has particular strengths in research areas including the reconstruction of social identities (particularly sexuality, age, ethnicity, and national identity); transnational society and diasporas; and marginalisation, resistance, and social justice. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct international quality research and to secure external funding, as well as being able to show convincing plans for future publications and funding. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the School's undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programme and to play an active role in the life of the Research Cluster. Candidates should have a PhD in Geography or a cognate discipline (or be very near completion).
The School of Geography has a strong research record in human geography and produces international calibre publications through its three human geography research clusters (Citizenship and Belonging; Urban Cultures and Consumption; Centre for Applied Spatial Analysis). The School of Geography also has strong links to a variety of interdisciplinary units, including the Leeds Social Sciences Institute, the Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, the Centre for Family, Life Course and Generation, the Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies, and a number of others.
