The WiSE Centre for Economic Justice within the Glasgow School for Business & Society invites post-doctoral candidates to apply for the Ailsa McKay Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship.

WiSE is a multi-disciplinary research centre which focuses on gender analysis of economic and public policy from a feminist economics perspective. We are inviting applications from PhD graduates with a background in feminist economics focusing on any of the following areas; feminist economic methodologies; alternative economic strategies; gender analysis of economic and public policy and the political economy of care.

Candidates with a PhD in economics/social policy or public policy are invited to apply to undertake research within the realm of feminist economics on a particular area of interest to WiSE. Candidates with quantitative expertise are particularly encouraged.

This post is intended to provide training and development opportunities for post doctoral academics, and is a fixed term opportunity, for 2 years.

As the University for the Common Good, we are committed to embedding equality, diversity and inclusion, as well as our values in everything that we do. As such, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates who demonstrate the GCU Values.

As a Disability Confident ‘Committed’ employer, we are striving to ensure that our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to disabled people.

The University also holds the Carer Positive ‘Engaged’ employer award, which recognises our commitment to supporting staff with caring responsibilities.
