Hi all

 

This job looks like it might be of interest. Permanent lectureship (assistant prof level) at Queen Mary (part of the Unviersity of London).

 

Cheers

Apologies for cross posting

This lectureship (tenure track) is suitable for IPE scholars working on sustainability transitions, IPE and the Environment, just transitions, etc. 

https://www.qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/items/7679.html 

We are looking for a scholar who can teach a broad range of students in terms of their prior knowledge of general issues of business sustainability, and more specific issues to do with the current biodiversity and climate crises as they relate to business and society. You will also critically analyse sustainability transitions as a long term, multi-dimensional and foundational transformation requiring far-reaching societal change engaging all sectors of economy and society.  Furthermore, you will be interested in ‘foundational industries’ i.e., those industries which form the life blood of economies and societies such as agribusiness, energy, or transportation, and/or the ways in which they are commercially organised and financed through global trading companies, e.g., Trafigura. 

In keeping with the School’s emphasis on social justice, sustainability, and good governance, the successful candidate should analyse sustainability transitions through the prism of concepts such as just transitions, differential capacities and responsibilities for transitioning within and between countries, indigenous knowledge, and/or issues of power and gender and racial inequality.
