The Department of Economics is one of the largest departments in the Faculty with an ambition to grow further. We have a friendly, collegiate and culturally diverse team. We are an international department that currently comprises approximately 40 academics, 15 professional services staff, 30 PhD students, as well as post-doctoral fellows and visiting academics.

We provide research-led economics teaching, exposing students to the latest developments in the discipline so they become critical thinkers, analytical problem solvers and independent researchers.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.

As an equal opportunities employer, we particularly welcome applications from women and from Black, Asian, Minority, Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds as they are currently underrepresented in this area. All appointments will be made on merit of skill and experience relative to the role.
