The Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies at the **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. intends to appoint an Assistant Professor in Literature and History to convene and teach on our joint honours English and History degree. The appointment will commence on 1 September 2022.
We seek an outstanding scholar who specialises in reading literature and culture as historically embedded – socially and materially – across any culture or historical period.

You will possess a PhD or equivalent; will have an emergent or already established international reputation in an appropriate field of study; and will have relevant teaching experience. You will also demonstrate a commitment to teaching excellence and will join a teaching team with strengths in innovative teaching methods, including open-space learning and practical workshops, as well as more traditional lectures and seminars. Alongside core modules on the English and History degree, you will develop new research-led modules at BA and MA level; and will supervise PhD research. You will join a vibrant culture and research environment, in the Department and the Arts Faculty, and will foster research connections and collaborations with colleagues, especially those in the Department of History.
The department values diversity, challenges discrimination, and promotes equality. We are committed to strengthening our equality and diversity agenda both in relation to our community (students and staff), our teaching, research, and our curricula. Applications are encouraged from underrepresented groups, including people who identify as Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic, women, members of the LGBTQIUA communities, people with disabilities, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We also strongly encourage those who have studied or worked at post-92 institutions.
