Please note that the interview dates listed in the job advert are wrong: interviews should be held in July.

These represent three key hires for our department, which has grown at an amazing pace (now 90 permanent faculty)! It is a terrific and unusually interdisciplinary place to work with a great sense of community. So please help spread the word, and apply if you are interested! 4/4

They have a different balance of education, research and admin responsibilities, and different tailored promotion criteria to other academic appointments. But they are otherwise the same: in pay scale, permanence, status, participation in our staff community, etc. 3/4

Many universities have started using education pathway positions, but their nature varies across institutions. So I stress: in DPE, these are not overloaded ‘teaching’ posts. They are strategic investments in developing the department’s world class research-led education. 2/4

I study mass killing, which includes genocides. @alexhinton.bsky.social @jleadermaynard.bsky.social @uungor.bsky.social @vukusiciva.bsky.social and @lucyjgaynor.bsky.social are on here and should fit as well.

Getting this kind of deep intellectual engagement is the best thing about writing a book. I'm so grateful, and I look forward to engaging with Rejali - and any of you who are interested - in the future!

DM me if any of you would like more information about the book, or the Qs raised in the review.

Professor Rejali's work on torture is also brilliant and you should all check it out, especially his masterwork 'Torture and Democracy'. His review also raises some good questions about my argument about ideology's role in mass killing (though I think I have some good answers!).
