Birkbeck's Business School offers an excellent research-friendly environment, with its Bloomsbury location offering access to a range of academic institutions in central London.
As Lecturer, you will be expected to teach across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Economics and also to teach on our overseas programmes in China and elsewhere. You will be supported to publish internationally excellent research, and contribute to the effective delivery and development of our portfolio of taught programmes. This is a tenure-track post.
We are seeking to broaden our economics research and teaching portfolio in ways that build on and complement our existing strengths. For this appointment, we have a particular preference for Macroeconomics, although excellent candidates from all core areas of Economics will be considered.

We are looking to recruit early career academics to not only enhance our teaching and research, but also to drive our objective of being a leading business school for academics to begin their careers.
If you have completed your PhD in the past 5 years, or are close to completion, this is a great opportunity to join a growing business school which supports the development of exceptional teachers and researchers.
