The Department of History at Lancaster University is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Medieval History 1100-1500. This is a twenty-four month part time post (0.9 FTE), to start 1 September 2021 and ending 31 August 2023. It is designed to provide undergraduate and masters teaching cover for a Philip Leverhulme Prize award holder and to support the successful candidate in the development of their research and teaching. You will have an excellent profile in research and teaching appropriate to your career stage; particular expertise in later medieval history (1200-1500) would be an advantage.

You will have experience of teaching undergraduates, and the ability to attract students and provide high quality, research-driven teaching in the realm of political / military / ecclesiastical history 1100-1500. Your principal teaching responsibilities will be two, established seminar-based modules: ‘From Rebellion to Revolution: The War for the Throne, 1199-1265’ (a year-long special subject for final year undergraduates on the political, military and ecclesiastical history of England and the Continent), and ‘Warfare in the Medieval World, 1100-1500’ (a term-long MA module). You will also contribute to the team-taught modules ‘From Ancient to Modern: History and Historians’ (for first-year undergraduates) and ‘Warfare in History’ (for the MA International and Military History). Any additional teaching or administrative duties will be allocated to ensure that you have the same time allocation for research as other members of research active staff. Your overall workload allocation will be kept at the levels expected of a 0.9FTE member of staff as measured on the Department of History’s workload model. The Department is strongly committed to allowing you to use this post as an opportunity to develop a successful academic career.

You will have completed your PhD and will have a record of excellence in published research appropriate to your career stage, and will have concrete plans for future internationally excellent research publications and/or projects. You will have the ability to contribute to the research culture of both the Centre for War and Diplomacy (CWD) and Department of History. You will be supported in developing your research by a full research time allocation and mentoring within the Department, and by active participation as a member of CWD.

This is a part time, fixed term post.

Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be made to Dr Marco Wyss by e-mail: m.wyss@lancaster.ac.uk. The Department of History’s webpage can be found at: http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/history/ The Centre for War and Diplomacy’s webpage can be found at: www.lancaster.ac.uk/cwd

The Department of History at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to the role of Assistant Professor of History in the period c.300-c.950 (CE). We welcome applications from candidates with expertise in Asian, Eurasian, Mediterranean, North African, Islamicate, Byzantine or European history, whose research complements or expands the department’s current strengths. Applications from candidates whose research draws connections between multiple geographical regions and who share our commitment to decolonising the curriculum are especially encouraged

Following recent expansion, Durham University History Department is now one of the largest centres in the UK for the study of History. We are consistently ranked amongst the top departments in the country by the Complete University Guide, the Times and Sunday Times, and the Guardian University Guide. We place research at the very heart of our varied undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, inducting our students into a community of historians from the outset. Our research expertise and teaching provision extend from the early Middle Ages to the present day, and we are home to scholars of Europe (including the British Isles), Africa, East Asia, South Asia and the United States of America and of social, cultural, political, economic, religious, environmental and gender history. We believe that this chronological range and breadth opens up possibilities of transnational, transhistorical and comparative work that tends to be the hallmark of ground-breaking research in our discipline. As a group of researchers, we are alive to the fact that historical questions constantly evolve, and we are committed to developing the intra-and inter-disciplinary breadth to respond to, initiate and shape the discipline and scholarship more broadly defined. This brings us together as historians and makes Durham an exciting place to work, research, and study.

Applicants must demonstrate research excellence in the History in the period c. 350-950 CE with the ability to teach our students to an exceptional standard and to fully engage in the services, citizenship and values of the University. The University provides a working and teaching environment which is inclusive and welcoming and where everyone is treated fairly with dignity and respect. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate these key principles as part of the assessment process.
