Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The School of Humanities and Social Science (HSS) consists of six programme areas, employing over 70 academic staff and delivering an excellent student experience to more than 1,300 students. The School has a strong track record of producing high-quality research and creating a supportive and innovative teaching experience for our students. This is an exciting time to be part of a growing Social Science offering as we seek to ensure our International Relations and Politics, Sociology, and Media, Culture and Communication degree areas work in collaboration on research ambitions and in the development of a cross-disciplinary curriculum (from Level 3 to Level 7) that appeals to both home and international applicants.

We are now seeking to appoint an outstanding individual to lead the People, Politics and Communication (PPC) subject area on a full-time, permanent basis. This is a great opportunity for the right candidate to join a vibrant School and take the next step in their leadership development.

The search is open to outstanding scholars of any field of Sociology, International Relations and Politics, Media, Culture and Communication who can demonstrate clear strategies around the current HE environment and the teaching and research challenges faced. You will sit within the senior management structure of the School and be able to think and act strategically to deliver on the shared vision of the School, Faculty and University.

You will be a dynamic and inspirational individual with a proven track record in leadership and academia. With excellent communication skills, you should be able to articulate plans to further strengthen the research, teaching and impact of the subject area in the local, national and international arena. You will have the opportunity to devise plans to develop a strong PPC identity, establish key priorities and action mechanisms that forge collaboration and effective and efficient working that enhances staff well-being and a sense of shared purpose.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.

Frequently Asked Questions

If I am not a Australian citizen, can I apply for jobs in Australia?

If you don't have a Australian citizenship, but are living in Australia or if you are planning to move to Australia and are looking for jobs that can sponsor you, it is up to each individual employer on how it handles international candidates.

Why I have not received any response from the company after I applied?

Have you tried following up? If you did not follow up with an email or phone call, how do you determine if the company received your job application? Enquire where they are in the review process and and then ask if they received your submission. While it would be great to receive a response from the company, sometimes it doesn’t happen. Take the initiative to follow to ensure your application has been received.

How long does it take to complete the application?

The period of the application process will vary, depending on the type of job you are applying for and your previous employment experience.

What position levels are available for applying?

There are 6 position levels and each level can be associated with a salary range and different types of job titles. Jobs levels can be categorised into: non-executive, fresh/entry level, junior executive, senior executive, manager and senior manager.

How many types of jobs are there?

Within Jobstore, there are hundreds of variations of jobs. Read through the job descriptions to find out about the typical responsibilities and employers for each job, so you can see what’s involved and who might employ you.

I need experience to get a job, but how do I get a job to get experience?

You can certainly obtain expertise without working in a certain sector full-time, albeit it may take a little extra work. And of course, there's nothing wrong with some good ol' networking.

How do I avoid making the common interview mistakes?

One of the worst mistakes you can make, aside from the obvious ones like being late or using unprofessional language or being messy or unclean, is not being well-prepared.

Don't forget to bring all of the relevant resources, including your résumé, portfolio, and a notepad. You can also prepare your answers in advance by researching the company's industry, competitors, and CEO.
