This appointment is until 30 June 2025; however, we expect the role to be renewed with high likelihood of long-term extension.
LSE Cities is preparing to launch a pioneering European City Leadership Programme for mayors and their teams. The programme will include world class executive education delivered both virtually and in-person at sites across Europe. This essential capability-building work will be accompanied by rapid-fire research and experimentation, informed by mayors' real-world challenges to generate practical resources and data for city leaders.
The Policy Fellow (Executive Education) will contribute to the intellectual shape and design of the Mayors’ and City Teams’ curriculum. The postholder will develop up to five annual teaching cases focused on the ways European City governments have embedded government innovation in their work and develop individual training sessions focused on key government innovation activities such as citizen engagement, analysis, collaboration, experimentation, and scaling. The role also involves producing research-based and policy relevant outputs of high quality, including policy briefs, working papers, presentations, blogs, and course modules on government innovation.
Candidates should have a master’s degree or equivalent experience in the field of government innovation at national, regional or local level, experience in designing training programmes at a professional, graduate or executive education level and experience in producing outputs such as case studies, policy briefs, working papers, presentations or blogs.
