The role

The School of Humanities and Educational Studies seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Medieval Studies to contribute to the delivery and the development of our Humanities courses, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The ideal candidate will have research and/or teaching experience in Medieval Studies, preferably with a complementary specialism in Digital Humanities / Environmental Humanities / Global History. The successful candidate will be expected to convene and/or deliver modules at all levels in their area of expertise, as well as to contribute to team-teaching, as appropriate.

A Ph.D. in a Humanities subject, with suitable expertise / broad understanding of current developments in Medieval Studies, and relevant complementary specialism, are essential requirements, as is previous experience of HE teaching. An HE teaching qualification or fellowship of Advance HE would also be advantageous, along with the demonstrable ability to establish and develop connections with external stakeholders, especially in the cultural industries and heritage sector.
