The History of Art Department, Littlegate House, Oxford, invites applications for a Departmental Lecturer. This is an exciting opportunity to join our thriving History of Art community and gain valuable teaching and administrative experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

You will have a demonstrable aptitude for teaching the History of Art, the ability to inspire and enthuse students and draw on your own research to inform and augment your teaching.

Although this is primarily a teaching and administrative role, you will also engage in advanced study and conduct independent research and play an active role in the interdisciplinary Christ Church academic community.

You will have research and teaching interests in the History of Art, broadly defined. Expertise in any aspect of Early Modern art and/or experience teaching courses on the theories and methodologies of art history is desirable although we would welcome applications from applicants with expertise in any area.

This is a joint appointment in association with Christ Church College. You will be responsible for overseeing the organisation of History of Art teaching at Christ Church (including undergraduate admissions) and will have academic/pastoral responsibility for undergraduate art historians at Christ Church.

In addition, you will be asked to contribute lectures and guest classes in other departmental courses and participate in relevant tutorial teaching. In the second year, the successful candidate will also be invited to teach option courses in their area of specialization at BA and/or MSt level.

You will have a completed doctorate in a relevant field, or evidence that a doctorate is close to completion.

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for a period of 2 years.
