"""BLAVATNIK SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT Summary Job title Departmental Lecturer in Military Leadership Division Social Sciences Department Blavatnik School of Government Location Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Walton Street, Oxford, OX2 6GG Grade and salary Grade 7: £36,024 - £44,263 per annum, dependent on experience Hours Full time Contract type Fixed-term for 3 years due to external funding Reporting to Thomas Simpson, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Public Policy Vacancy reference 174112 Additional information The closing date for applications is 12 noon (UK time) on Friday 13 September 2024 Our mission The Blavatnik School of Government aspires to be one of the world’s leading academic institutions for research, teaching, and public engagement that improves government. The School is committed to delivering transformative teaching programmes that combine analytical thinking, values-based leadership, and practical managerial skills. The Master of Public Policy (MPP) is our one-year intensive and innovative degree programme which combines a rigorous academic education with practical and professional skills. Our students learn the sharpest disciplinary tools and hone their practical skills to go out into the world and be truly outstanding public leaders. From the youngest ever minister in Yemen, to the youngest mayor in Germany, to the Minister of Youth Affairs in the United Arab Emirates, to an MP in Panama—our alumni make real-world impact. The role We are looking to recruit a full-time Departmental Lecturer who combines academic excellence in the field of military leadership and ethics with the ability to deliver compelling teaching, including for military professionals. The postholder will be entrepreneurial, personally committed to the success of initiatives they are involved in, and will pay attention to detail. While not essential, it is highly desirable that they should have professional experience of military service or have worked in security. This post is an excellent opportunity to join and contribute to the development of an ambitious school of public policy at one of the world’s leading universities. The School is committed to equipping its students and policy practitioners with the academic, policy and practical skills that are required to have a significant impact in their professional lives. The primary responsibilities of the Departmental Lecturer are to help deliver and develop the Military Leadership and Judgment Programme (MLJP). The MLJP works with military practitioners to help them deepen their intellectual and moral judgment, and so to equip them better to lead organisations which have ethically robust organisational cultures, and which deliver effective defence and security. The activities of the MLJP include short courses and study days hosted at the Blavatnik School, visiting fellowships, and some offsite teaching, and the postholder will contribute to all of these. Military participants and partner organisations are collaborated with on the basis that their work has strategic impact. The MLJP is directed by Dr Thomas Simpson, whom the postholder will report to and work in close collaboration with. In addition, the postholder will be a member of the School’s faculty, and will make contributions to the wider degree programme and executive programme teaching as appropriate. While Departmental Lectureships are teaching-focused posts, the postholder will have their own research profile in the field of military leadership and ethics, commensurate with their career stage, and will have the opportunity to develop this profile, with an approximately 60/40 split in time commitment between teaching and administrative duties, and research. The post is fixed-term for 3 years in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal dependent on external funding.
