Associate Professor of Management and Public Policy

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 alongside a salary more commensurate with the title.

The Blavatnik School of Government and Exeter College are recruiting an Associate Professor of Management and Public Policy to join the School in the academic year from September 2025 (or soon thereafter).

As a global school committed to this vision of a world better led, better served and better governed, the Blavatnik 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 School is one of the world’s leading academic institutions for research, teaching, and public leadership development in the area of government. The Associate Professorship will bring to the School an academic with an emerging global reputation for excellence in an area or areas of management and public policy. They will have a doctorate in management (or closely related field) and be equipped to teach management in an inspiring way to current and future public leaders, as well as to engage in this area with policy experts. Applications are invited in all areas of management and public policy.

The appointment will be made in association with Green Templeton 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.

You should have a doctorate in management, public management, or a closely related field, track record of internationally excellent articles in highly-ranked, peer reviewed academic journals, commensurate with the candidate’s career stage; an outstanding programme of applied research in management and public policy, or a closely related field; an established record of public engagement with governments and international organisations on public policy; the ability and willingness to teach, 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; a commitment to outstanding and innovative teaching; the ability to build the profile of the School on management and public policy issues.

The general expectation is that members of faculty will devote up to 60% of their time to research, publication and policy engagement, and 40% to teaching, assessment, and administration. The amount of teaching must not normally exceed an average of 288[1] teaching units per year without approval by the Divisional Board. All Associate Professors are expected to engage in public policy and to contribute to institutional advancement – both of which are part of the Initial Period of Office (IPO) criteria along with teaching and research.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon, Monday 16 September 2024.

We are committed to equality and valuing diversity.
