INT Academic Career Development Fellowship (Fixed Term)

The Department of Land Economy and Newnham College wish to appoint an Isaac Newton Trust Academic Career Development Fellow in Urban and Regional Economics with effect from 30th September 2026 for a period of three years. The Academic Career Development Fellow will carry out research in the Department of Land Economy and will teach and contribute to the administration and other activities of the Department and of Newnham College. They may be elected to a Bye-Fellowship at Newnham College. The fellow will be a member of the Lab for Interdisciplinary Spatial Analysis at the Department of Land Economy.

The Academic Career Development Fellow will have teaching strengths in one or more central areas of urban and regional economics, including environmental economics and regulation, with a preference for experience in using quantitative methods in research or teaching. Candidates should draw attention in their application to the full range of their teaching abilities. The post is intended to provide an opportunity for someone at a relatively early stage in their academic career to develop teaching and administrative skills while also pursuing academic research. This will assist the Fellow to apply for future academic vacancies and so develop an academic career.

The Academic Career Development Fellow will be expected to pursue a research project that can be completed within the three-year period of the Fellowship. They will be expected to publish, or have published, in their specialist field, to teach and examine undergraduates, and to supervise and examine MPhil postgraduate work, such as migration or planning, may be desirable.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years.
