Academic Appointments and Research Leadership
I am interested in permanent, visiting, and fellowship opportunities that combine research, postgraduate teaching, supervision, institutional development, and public engagement. Relevant fields include international security, international relations, strategic studies, Caribbean and Latin American studies, small-state security, and security governance.
I bring experience designing and delivering postgraduate programmes and courses in international security, strategic studies, and sustainable development and justice. I have coordinated and design new postgraduate programmes, supervised research across security and international relations topics, contributed to academic quality assurance, and supported programme development and recruitment.Â
