Candidates will be expected to have a track record of research in the global South and a commitment to interdisciplinary work.

The candidate will be affiliated to one or both of two research groups: GOSSIP(Geographies of Space, Sustainability, Inequality and Possibility - https://gossip.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/ -, a vibrant new group of critical human geographers and sustainability scholars and the well-established ‘Population and Health’ group, one of the largest groups in the UK. The School has a very successful one-year taught MSc in Sustainable Development and currently contributes to the MSc in Global Health Implementation run by the School of Medicine. The person appointed to this post will carry out teaching duties in these courses as well as in our highly competitive undergraduate programmes.
