We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented teaching fellow to join our team at the University of Birmingham. You will teach and support a mix of international postgraduates and UK public sector professionals, helping to develop the next generation of senior public sector managers and leaders.
The Department of Public Administration and Policy is a recently formed part of the University of Birmingham, incorporating the Institute of Local Government Studies (INLOGOV) - the leading UK centre for the study of public service management, policy and governance with over 50 years of experience working with local government and the public sector.
The department sits in the School of Government, which is one of the largest in the United Kingdom – home to more than 80 full-time academic staff, more than 1,200 undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, and more than 70 doctoral researchers. The School is intellectually vibrant with an excellent record in both research and teaching.
DPAP offers a range of postgraduate degree programmes, at Masters and Diploma levels, with a thriving doctoral research community. Our taught postgraduate programmes include a full-time on-campus Public Management MSc, an on-line Masters of Public Administration, and a blended Degree Apprenticeship in Public Leadership and Management.
DPAP’s teaching is informed by a robust and innovative research agenda. Building on our rich history of research addressing the institutional and political life of local government and public management, our teaching and research now also reaches beyond these traditional structures and actors to address governance, democracy, leadership, participation, policy-making, performance and financial management, and service delivery at and across multiple scales and issues.
The successful post holder will be enthusiastic about teaching with demonstrable ability to teach a range of post graduate students in relevant topic areas. The post holder will teach on campus in Birmingham and online, working with small and large groups of students, and have personal academic tutor responsibilities for several students. Experience teaching students whose first language is not English and/or experience in local government would be helpful.
