The College of Social Sciences invites applicants to the Lord Kelvin

leading research across a broad range of expertise through five Schools

leaders the College seeks to reinforce excellence across these
disciplines by appointing highly qualified post-doctoral researchers to
Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellowships. Successful candidates will join a
