About the Blavatnik School of Government
Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: teaching current and future leaders; generating research with impact; and engaging with governments and practitioners.
What we offer
The School is a collaborative, friendly, and dynamic department based in an award-winning building in Oxford. We host regular events and talks with well-known guest speakers – all of which are open to staff. On the social side, we have regular coffee/cake mornings for staff, a family-friendly Halloween event, and Christmas and summer parties.
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
  • An excellent contributory pension scheme
  • 38 days’ annual leave, pro-rata
  • Entitlement to University sick pay
  • Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs
  • Opportunities for remote working.
More information about working at the School can be found on our jobs page.
About the role
The Blavatnik School of Government is seeking to recruit a number of Teaching Associates to join the teaching teams for four of the compulsory modules within the Master in Public Policy (MPP). These modules are: Economics for Public Policy and Foundations in Michaelmas Term (October-December); and Evidence for Public Policy and Politics of Policy Making in Hilary Term (January-March).
As a Teaching Associate, you would be expected to: serve as a Seminar Leader; take a lead role with respect to organisation of seminars; contribute to assessment; assist the module convenors with administration. There may also be opportunities to undertake a small amount of lecturing.
This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable teaching experience at a graduate level within a friendly, dynamic, and world-class school of public policy. You will have the opportunity to engage with highly motivated students drawn from across the world who bring a range of professional and policy experiences, often at senior levels.
You may apply to teach on one course in one term, or two courses across two terms.
These posts are flexible, variable hours, and fixed-term for one year (with potential to extend to three years).
About you
You will hold a Master’s degree in a relevant subject and have experience in teaching and leading seminars, as well as the ability to teach to non-specialists. Committed to policy relevant teaching, you will have sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject to develop module materials, and excellent communication, interpersonal and organisational skills. Familiarity with the existing literature and research in the field is also essential.
How to apply
You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon (UK time) on Friday 12 May 2023.
Interviews will take place on Friday 19 May and Wednesday 24 May, and will be held online via MS Teams.
