Applications are invited for the post of Permanent Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer in History of Islamic World at the University of Manchester.

We invite applications from candidates with historical expertise in any dimension of the Islamic World broadly defined from the 7th Century CE to the present.

The 2021 Research Excellence Framework placed History at Manchester 5th nationally in overall terms. World history at Manchester is a particular strength of the History Department, with our scholars sustaining a strong international profile and record of participation in impact activities relating to world affairs and prominent exhibitions. Their published work has won prestigious prizes and their research continues to attract major Research Council awards. We particularly encourage applications that map onto one or more of our research groups: Radical Approaches from the Global South [RAGS], Race, Roots and Resistance, Histories of Humanitarianism, Embodied Emotions and the Cultural History of War.
