The Department of Economics at the University of Bath is seeking to appoint a Reader/Senior Lecturer in any area of Economics. Readers/Senior Lecturers are equivalent to tenured Associate Professors.

We invite applications from all fields, but have particular teaching needs in Applied (Micro-) Econometrics and Macroeconomics/Finance. Essential criteria for Reader and Senior Lecturer candidates are: (i) a strong record in publishing high quality research and engagement with research grants and/or contracts; (ii) a broad teaching portfolio; (iii) the ability to play a leading role in one or more of our five dynamic research groups (see below) and to make active contributions to our specialist research themes (Innovation and Productivity, Governance of Systems and Institutions, Social Determinants of Health, and Sustainable Living). In addition, candidates for Reader are expected to have successfully attracted research grants/contracts as Principal or Co-Investigator at a funding level appropriate to the discipline, possibly in collaboration with other Universities or organisations. All candidates are expected to deliver high quality teaching, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and to attract and successfully supervise PhD students.
