Former UK PM Rishi Sunak takes up posts at Oxford, Stanford universities

Britain’s former prime minister Rishi Sunak has taken on new academic roles at the University of Oxford in the UK and University of Stanford in the US – both alma maters of the Conservative Party member of Parliament for Richmond and Northallerton in northern England.

Sunak, 44, has joined Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government as a member of the World Leaders Circle and a Distinguished Fellow, the UK’s premier university announced on Monday.

Meanwhile, Stanford named him the William C Edwards Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, where he will be working on a wide array of issues, including trans-Atlantic relations, economic policy, technology, and global security challenges.
