SGSSS have three openings on the SGSSS Directorate this year and are seeking colleagues from partner institutions (at all stages of their academic career) with an interest in cross-university collaboration and the ambition to influence social science doctoral research at a national level. All roles are 0.3FTE (managed as an institutional commitment from partner HEI to SGSSS) available from July 2021 (phased starts negotiable depending on commitments). It is anticipated that interviews will take place in w/c 26^th April via zoom.

Applicants should send a copy of their CV and a cover letter outlining why they are attracted to the position, along with relevant experience. Applications should be sent to team@sgsss.ac.uk including ‘Associate Director (INSERT ROLE TITLE) application’ in the email subject heading.

As a member of the Directorate you will take the lead in overseeing the activities associated with the named role as well as an element of SGSSS strategy suited to your experience and interest. It is an opportunity to contribute to the on-going development of the UK’s largest Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP), supporting all social science research students in Scotland.

If you would like to discuss the post in further detail please contact the SGSSS Director, Professor Jamie Pearce (Director) jamie.pearce@ed.ac.uk. You may also want to speak with your HEI representative on the Deans of Graduate Studies network. The successful candidate will require a letter of support from their Dean confirming allocation of 0.3FTE so we encourage candidates to start these conversations as soon as possible. 

Closing date for applications: Monday 5^th April
