My former and current departments are hiring. Exeter (former) is hiring for Lecturer (Asst Professor) in IR. At Southampton (current department), @rikkidean.bsky.social is hiring a post doc for his ERC. Both departments are wonderful, and happy to speak glowingly of either. Links to each in thread.
