Subject: Job opening at the University of Leeds
I'd like to bring this job opening to the attention of both potential
applicants and those who might know of any. I'm putting it out on the
ipenet now because the ad itself (in a shorter version) will probably not
appear until the November issue of the APSA Personnel Newsletter.
Phil Cerny (Professor-elect, University of Leeds)
UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
State and Economy/International Political Economy
The Department of Politics at the University of Leeds (United Kingdom)
invites applications for a position in State-Economy Relations and
International Political Economy of Advanced Industrial Societies, to begin
any time after March 1, 1996. This will normally be filled at Lecturer A
level (equivalent to a tenure-track, entry-level or junior Assistant
Professor position), although there may be some possibility of appointment
at the lower end of the Lecturer B scale for an exceptionally
well-qualified candidate.
The Politics Department has always focused on relations between politics
and economics and state and society across a range of sub-fields. The
most recent development has been the establishment of a Chair in
International Political Economy, to which Professor Philip G. Cerny has
been appointed with effect from January 1, 1996. A specialized graduate
program in IPE is also being set up with links to both existing and new
departmental and interdisciplinary graduate programs in industrial policy,
international studies, democratization, international resources and
development, European studies (which is also headed by a new director,
Professor Juliet Lodge), communications studies, and international
business.
We are looking for an applicant whose interests combine aspects of
Comparative Public Policy, Government-Industry Relations and the like with
International Political Economy. Relevant research interests would
include industrial policy, trade policy, macroeconomic policy, etc.
Candidates may have a geographical area interest in any advanced
industrial society or region, although a specialism in Britain or Germany
would be particularly welcome.
A strong existing publication record, or evidence of strong publishing
potential, is required. Candidates should either have a completed Ph.D.
or be in a position to complete within six months after starting the
appointment.
Applications will be reviewed starting January 8, 1996.
The University of Leeds is a major urban research university, and is the
largest single-site British university, with 19,000 students. Leeds is a
lively post-industrial city (once the cradle of the Industrial Revolution)
of 700,000 in the heart of West Yorkshire in the North of England. The
West Yorkshire conurbation has a population of just over 2 million. It
has fast rail links to London and other major British cities, including a
direct link to Manchester Airport (as well as having a smaller airport of
its own with direct links to major European cities).
Further information is available from Mrs. S.M.D. Wheeler, Director of
Personnel, Office of the Registrar, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT,
United Kingdom, to whom applications should also be sent. Applications
(two copies) should include a cover letter, a full curriculum vitae and
list of publications, writing samples, and the names and addresses of
three referees (including telephone and fax numbers and email addresses
where possible). Informal enquiries about the post may be made to David
S. Bell, Chair, Department of Politics, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2
9JT, UK (tel. 011-44-113-233-4397; fax 011-44-113-233-4400). Enquiries
may also be addressed to Professor Philip G. Cerny: before the end of
1995, he may be contacted at the Department of Politics, University of
York, York YO1 5DD, UK (tel. 011-44-1904-433547; fax 011-44-1904-433563;

Politics, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK (tel.
