The Institute of Local Government Studies (INLOGOV) is the leading UK centre for the study of public service management, policy and governance. With over 50 years of experience working within local government and the public sector, INLOGOV creates the new thinking with public servants. INLOGOV sits in the School of Government, which is one of the largest in the United Kingdom – home to more than 80 full-time academic staff, more than 1,200 undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, and more than 70 doctoral researchers. The School is intellectually vibrant with an excellent record in both research and teaching.
INLOGOV offers a range of postgraduate degree programmes, at Masters, diploma and certificate levels, with a thriving doctoral research community. Our taught postgraduate programmes include a full-time on-campus Public Management MSc, an on-line Masters of Public Administration, a blended Degree Apprenticeship in Public Leadership and Management, and study opportunities for research degrees (MPhil or PhD). INLOGOV’s teaching is informed by a robust and innovative research agenda. Building on our rich history of research addressing the institutional and political life of local government and public management, our research now reaches beyond these traditional structures and actors to address governance, democracy, leadership, participation, policy-making and service delivery at and across multiple scales and issues. The successful post holder will be enthusiastic about teaching and able to teach students from new graduates to experienced professionals in areas such as public management and service delivery, policy making and implementation, participation and democracy, governance and devolution, or public sector economics and finance. The post holder will teach on campus and online. A range of CPD opportunities will be available.
