As a school committed to this vision of a world better led, better served and better governed, the Blavatnik School teaches current and future leaders to tackle this century’s most pressing public policy challenges. We are proud of our academic excellence and independent and academically rigorous research, together with our ability to bring people together across disciplines and sectors to share knowledge, exchange ideas and create solutions. The appointment will be made in association with Wadham College. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the academic life of an engaging and interdisciplinary community which unites students and Faculty at all levels and across a wide range of intellectual approaches.

The Associate Professorship will bring to the School an academic with an emerging global reputation for excellence in an area or areas of philosophy and public policy. You will have a doctorate in philosophy or related fields concerned with normative questions around government and public policy – including political philosophy, ethics, political theory or philosophy of law – and be equipped to teach in an inspiring way to current and future public leaders. You will be engaged with policymakers, or keen to engage with them.

The amount of teaching must not normally exceed an average of 288 [1] teaching units per year without approval by the Divisional Board.
