The Past Speaks

I was asked to share this job advert for our university’s history department.

The School of Histories, Languages and Cultures wishes to appoint a Head of Department and Chair in History. The role of Head of Department will be fixed term until 31 July 2021 initially and will be offered in combination with a permanent post at Professorial level. You will be a leading researcher with an outstanding track-record of internationally excellent publications and ambitious research plans for the future. Experience of winning major research council funding and/or a proven record of securing other sources of research income and experience in organisational leadership is essential. You will demonstrate a track-record of innovation in (research-led) teaching and you may be specialised in any field of History. We particularly encourage applications from scholars with a specialisation in Public History or Medieval History, as these are two areas the Department is looking to strengthen.
