Want to start your job search now?
LSE is keen to attract the very best academic talent from around the world. You will be a top scholar striving to reshape your chosen field within the social sciences, most likely with an emerging or proven track record of engagement on real world issues. If you weren’t, you probably wouldn’t be considering us as a home for your future academic career.
We take all applications to work at LSE very seriously. There will be some variances in departmental recruitment and selection methods, as appropriate to the field of study and its associated job market, but there will be some things all our recruitment processes will have in common.
You can expect that everything you’re asked to submit, from your CV to written examples of your work, to references provided in advance, will be read carefully and considered fully by a wide range of your peers and potential colleagues.
If shortlisted for a role you can expect an opportunity to meet departmental colleagues and judge for yourself whether LSE is the right environment for you – open dialogue is an intrinsic part of the fabric of LSE life.
You can also be assured that the recruitment process will be a fair and objective one. LSE positively encourages a diverse and inclusive workforce, with excellence at its core.
