The Department of Land Economy is seeking an Assistant Professor in Rural and Agricultural Economics who will be expected to undertake research in the fields of agriculture, the environment, economics and society of a quality that accords with the Department's standards; to identify sources of funding for such research and build on and expand our network of contacts working in those areas; to teach on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in areas related to their expertise; and to make a general contribution to the running and management of the Department.

We interpret Land Economy broadly, as the multidisciplinary study of how society interacts with the natural and built environments. The Department includes lawyers, economists, planners, engineers and public policy, finance and real estate specialists. The Department encourages engagement with public policy and professional practice, thereby contributing to solutions to contemporary problems alongside more fundamental analysis. Our successful REF-21 submission ranked us first in the UK for research quality (both GPA and proportion of 4*).

The successful candidate will be expected to start no later than 01 September 2025.

Applications should be made online, references will be requested from short-listed candidates.
