The Department of History at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to the fixed term role of Lecturer in History CE 300-700.  We are particularly eager to hear from applicants with a focus on the history of the Mediterranean world.  

The primary focus of this role is on research and teaching but there will also be the opportunity to engage in wider citizenship within the University and beyond.

This role of Lecturer is for a fixed term of 12 months and to provide cover for Eleanor Barraclough, who has been awarded an AHRC Leadership Fellowship. It is not anticipated that this period would be extended beyond the initial fixed term.

Applicants must demonstrate research excellence in the field of History CE 300-700, 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 post-holder will be expected to contribute to a new team-taught level 1 module on the late-antique Mediterranean world, to contribute a strand to the core level 1 module 'Making History', and to teach a new or existing level 2 module in an aspect of early medieval history. They will undertake some undergraduate and MA dissertation supervision and, where appropriate, carry out other teaching duties specified by the Head of Department.
