The Oxford Department of International Development seeks to appoint a Departmental Lecturer in Forced Migration. The post is fixed-term for two years to cover the research leave of a member of permanent academic staff.

Applicants should have excellent teaching skills and a track record of research and publication, with the potential to make a substantial mark on the field of forced migration in the future. Applicants must hold or be close to completion of a doctorate in the social sciences with a focus on forced migration and qualitative methods.
