Former PM Sunak takes up Oxford, Stanford university roles

Rishi Sunak is set to return to his former universities as he takes up two new jobs in the United Kingdom and America, writes Ethan Gudge for BBC News.

The former prime minister announced he would be joining the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government as a member of its World Leaders Circle. He will also take up a visiting fellowship at the Hoover Institution, a think tank based at Stanford University in California.

Sunak, who studied philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford before earning a Master of Business Administration degree at Stanford, said he was “delighted” to be joining the two institutions. He said: “Both Blavatnik and Hoover do superb work on how we can rise to the economic and security challenges we face and seize the technological opportunities of our time … I was fortunate enough to study at both, they shaped my life and career, and I look forward to contributing to their world-leading research in the months and years ahead.”
