The Department of Gender Studies addresses the major intellectual challenges posed by contemporary changes in gender relations around the globe and is the largest research and teaching unit of its kind in Europe. Academic staff come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, but we are united in our commitment to mapping and intervening in the gendered nature of social processes, and in our belief that an integrated interdisciplinary and global approach is needed to do so. In our research and teaching we combine theory and practice, with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective.

We are looking to recruit an LSE Fellow to contribute to teaching and course convening the Department’s MSc-level core courses on MSc Gender and MSc Gender, Development and Globalisation degrees. They will offer other MSc level teaching as deemed appropriate by the Head of Department. An LSE Fellow post presents an excellent starting point for an early career academic to gain teaching experience while developing their research career.

Candidates should have:
  •  Completed or close to completing a PhD in social sciences, humanities or an area otherwise related to the teaching needs of the post, by the start date
  • A very good knowledge of interdisciplinary gender scholarship including in areas of gender theories with expertise in any of the following areas: Critical, feminist and decolonial approaches to gender, development, and globalisation; Environment and climate change; Transformation of labour markets, work, employment, and livelihoods; Critical approaches to global development challenges, such as land, food security, health, poverty, technology, urbanisation; Politics of development organisations and/or global governance in development.   

  In addition, knowledge of the following is essential:
  • Anti-colonial, anti-imperial, and decolonial approaches to Gender Studies
  • Black feminist and intersectional epistemologies and methodologies
  • Transnational feminist theories and methodologies   
  • A developing research record in interdisciplinary gender studies with a substantive focus on areas such as international development, political economy of development, government, politics, social policy or sociology, critical approaches to Artificial Intelligence.
