Associate Professorship in Politics and International Relations of China

The Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) and the Oxford
School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) in association with St Cross College
are recruiting an Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations
of China to start from 1 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Applications are invited from both early career and established scholars who
specialise in international relations, international political economy, or a
closely related field with specialization in China.





The successful candidate will be expected to conduct advanced research; to
teach, supervise, and examine in the politics and international relations of
China at the undergraduate and graduate level; and to play a part in the
administrative work of DPIR and OSGA.





The post will be held in conjunction with a Fellowship at St Cross College.
The Fellowship carries no teaching duties for the College, but the Fellow will
be expected to participate in the academic life of the College, taking part in
events for students, acting as a College Advisor for students, and playing
part in the administration of the College.





DPIR and OSGA strongly encourage applications from women and/or candidates
from a BME background as they are currently under-represented in academic
posts.





For informal inquiries, please contact Dr Nick Owen, Joint Head of Department
at DPIR (nicholas.owen@politics.ox.ac.uk) or Professor Paul Chaisty, Head of
OSGA (paul.chaisty@area.ox.ac.uk). All enquiries are treated in strict
confidence and will not form part of the selection decision.





We appreciate the effort and commitment involved in making a job application
and want you to have a positive experience of applying for our vacancies.
Please do not submit research materials or formal qualification evidence,
unless and until you are asked to do so. Further materials may be requested
from candidates who are short-listed. All shortlisted candidates will be
interviewed and asked to make a short presentation of some aspect of their
research to an audience of selection committee members and staff and students
of DPIR and OSGA.





Circumstances such as caring responsibilities, ill health or disability may
result in the quantity of a candidate's outputs being less than might
otherwise be expected, therefore when considering candidate's research and
publication record, career breaks will be taken into consideration.





OSGA holds a Bronze Athena Swan Award to recognise the advancement of gender
equality, representation and progression.
