We are looking for researchers who will contribute to, and develop, one or more of our four existing research themes (Knowing, creativity and experiment; Subaltern globalisations; Exploring vital geographies; and Stressed environments and communities; for more information, see our website: http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/ges/research/humangeographyresearch/) and to link across to other urban scholars across the University of Glasgow. We particularly encourage applicants whose work is in the areas of urban political economy; comparative and subaltern urbanisms; alternative/progressive urbanisms; urban political ecologies; urban sustainabilities and securities. We strongly encourage applications from scholars who consider urban transformation in a global perspective, alert to the Global South as well as the Global North. A readiness to engage and to co-produce research in a public, participatory fashion with urban communities will be desirable.
