The University of Oxford Department of Art History is seeking a highly motivated and inspirational person to join our thriving academic community of art historians and to bring exciting perspectives to the teaching and study of the History of Medieval and Renaissance Art at Oxford.

Although this is primarily a teaching and administrative role, the successful candidate will also engage in advanced study and independent research and play an active role in the History of Art Department and the interdisciplinary community of St Catherine's College. 

The successful applicant will have research and teaching interests in the history of Medieval and Renaissance art, broadly defined, as well as in art historical theory and methodologies. They will have an aptitude for teaching and the ability to inspire and enthuse students at all levels alongside a commitment to promoting the subject of art history within and beyond academia.

On the administrative side they will co-operate in the administrative work of the Department of Art History and Faculty of History, taking on such roles as are required, and will participate in the undergraduate and postgraduate admissions exercises.

This is a joint appointment in association with St Catherine's College. The person appointed will be expected to take responsibility for the general administration of History of Art teaching at St Catherine's, including arrangements for admission to the subject and pastoral duties.

The successful applicant 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 3 years.
