Reader / chair in civil society
You will have an established record of outstanding research and scholarship that will make a major contribution to the research profile of the School and an appropriate REF Unit of Assessment and contribute to the development of research strategy in Politics and International Relations or Sociology and Social Policy (depending on your academic background). You will also be expected to play a full part in relevant teaching and administrative activities including the development of postgraduate taught provision.
You will provide evidence of research of international quality within civil society research and possess the ability to provide research leadership in the field (including attracting research funding).
We encourage applications from candidates with relevant disciplinary backgrounds who will contribute to the development of the research agenda of the recently established Third Sector Research Centre (TSRC).
This position is an expression of the School and University's commitment to building on recent successes in research funding in this area. Existing research is concentrated on the Third Sector Research Centre www.tsrc.ac.uk and although this was established to develop research on the third sector in the UK, we welcome applicants who can enable us to diversify the range of work being carried out in this area.
There is a significant amount of relevant work in the Centre for Citizenship, Globalisation and Governance www.southampton.ac.uk/C2G2 and several members of staff in cognate disciplines within the new Faculty of Social and Human Sciences are also engaged in related activities.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor John Mohan via email [log in to unmask]
