School of Social Sciences and Humanities
The School of Social Sciences and Humanities is home to a large academic community of students, scholars and professional services staff.
The School is organised around five subject areas: Communication and Media; Geography and Environment; Politics and International Studies (including History); Social and Policy Studies; and Humanities (including English and Art History and Visual Culture).
We are looking for candidates at Lecturer level to join the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, particularly in the following area:
History and International Relations
The School of Social Sciences and Humanities wishes to appoint an outstanding person to a post in History and International Relations. This is an exciting opportunity for a successful candidate to join staff in Politics and International Studies (POLIS) and contribute to the successful undergraduate programmes in both History and International Relations. POLIS is notable for its flexibility to combine programmes from International Relations, Politics and History, and has recently developed a programme in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).
Candidates from any area in History and International Relations are encouraged to apply but there is preference for those scholars working in the following: Cold War History, World History, Military History, Cultural History or any aspect of Empire and post-colonial politics.
About the School
In addition to strong subject affiliations and interests, we address questions at the interface of society, culture and environment from local to global scales. In both our teaching and our research, we work within and across subject and disciplinary groupings. From strong disciplinary foundations, we seek to develop inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives, so as to shape questions and solutions which are relevant to communities, stakeholders, policymakers and academics alike.
