Associate Professorship of Law and Public Policy

The Blavatnik School of Government and Exeter College are recruiting an

2024 (or sooner if possible).





Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better
governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of
government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes:
**teaching** **current and future leaders** ; **generating** **research with
impact** ; and **engaging** **with governments and practitioners**.





As a community committed to this vision of a world better led, better served
and better governed, the 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 Associate Professorship will bring to the School an academic with an
emerging global reputation for excellence in an area of law and public policy.
You will have a doctorate and be equipped to teach law in an inspiring way to
current and future public leaders many of whom are not lawyers, as well as to
engage in their area of expertise with expert lawyers. Applications are
invited in all areas of law and public policy.





You should have a doctorate in law (or a closely related field); a track
record of internationally excellent articles in highly-ranked, peer reviewed
academic journals, commensurate with your career stage; an outstanding
programme of applied research in law or a closely related field; an
established record of public engagement with governments and international
organisations on policy issues and an interest in public policy; the ability
and willingness to teach innovatively, supervise, and assess high-achieving
graduate students with real world professional experience who come from
diverse cultural backgrounds; the ability and willingness to develop and teach
upon short courses for senior practitioners from diverse cultural backgrounds;
and the ability to build the profile of the School in the area of law.





You will be required to undertake research, teaching, policy engagement, and
administration. Teaching duties are likely to include: contributing to and
convening the core module that focuses on Law and policy on the Master of
Public Policy (MPP), teaching on the MSc and/or offering an Option (elective)
module on some aspect of public policy in relation to Law, teaching on our
executive education programmes, and supervision of MPP, MSc, and doctoral
students in the School.





The appointment will be made in association with Exeter 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.





Further information (including full details about how to apply) is included in
the further particulars.





In exceptional cases, where the candidate has previously established an
academic standing at an appropriate level of distinction, the title of full
professor may be awarded at the time of appointment.





**Please upload a full CV, supporting statement, and three current academic
reference letters**. **If you or your referees would prefer, references can be
emailed directly to** **recruit@bsg.ox.ac.uk** **by the closing date.**

will interview in late January 2024.
