Departmental Lecturer in Military Leadership

The Blavatnik School of Government is looking to recruit a 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.





You will help deliver and develop the Military Leadership and Judgment
Programme (MLJP). Directed by Dr Thomas Simpson, 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. In
addition, you 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 this is a teaching-focused post, you will have your own research profile
in the field of military leadership and ethics, commensurate with your 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.





You will have academic expertise and rigour in a field relevant to military
leadership and ethics, including a doctorate or equivalent. You will be
entrepreneurial, personally committed to the success of initiatives you are
involved in, and will pay attention to detail. Demonstrated excellence in
teaching, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and a publication
record and familiarity with the existing literature and research in the field
are also essential.





While not essential, it is highly desirable that you should have professional
experience of military service and/or experience in a related area of
security, or experience working in a military educational context.





The post is fixed-term for 3 years, with the possibility of renewal dependent
on external funding.
