As well as a completed, or nearly completed, PhD in Public Policy/Management, Political Science or a related discipline, you will have international research experience in urban governance; and high quality published research, including in internationally recognised peer-reviewed academic journals. In addition, you will demonstrate evidence of an understanding of the links between urban governance and its impact on sustainable urban development, quality of life and local democracy. The ability to develop research strategies involving direct links with other institutions, including governmental and community organisations and the private sector, is essential.
