History

Location:  University Park
Salary:  £33,348 to £37,386 per annum (pro-rata if applicable) depending on skills and experience.
Closing Date:  Wednesday 31 May 2023
Reference:  ARTS169623

The Department of History at the University of Nottingham is looking to appoint a Teaching Associate in early medieval English history with particular reference to the age of Bede. You will have a PhD in history, with teaching experience at undergraduate level on medieval history.

We want to continue to tackle the underrepresentation of marginalised groups in history – whether in staffing, curriculum, research, the public face of history or presence in the classroom. You will be able to demonstrate an ability to make a positive difference to issues of underrepresentation, through your experience, work, ethos, identity, or in some other way.

We believe in an inclusive working environment for all. We are welcoming, supportive and caring, conscious that diversity in our community is fundamental to our values and vital to our success. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people currently underrepresented in history, such as those of marginalised genders (e.g. women, non-binary, trans), people with disabling conditions, and people from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds.

You will contribute to an exceptional education for undergraduates in history and the Department’s research profile and culture. You will be keen to pursue opportunities for impact, public engagement, and interdisciplinarity. And you will contribute to the administration of the Department – in particular, by championing and promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives.

Shortlisting is anonymous: we cannot see any personal data or the ‘Additional Information’ section in your application until shortlisting is completed. Shortlisting is by criteria-based questions based on the person specification, rather than CV or letter.

As a Teaching Associate you will be expected to:

  • Design and deliver modules in history, contributing lectures and seminars within the Department's overall teaching programme.
  • Supervise and examine undergraduate students.
  • Support tutorial groups, developing their knowledge and learning skills.
  • Take a proactive role in the pastoral support of students, dealing with sensitive issues.
  • Be responsible for administrative duties.
  • Contribute to impact, public engagement, and interdisciplinarity.
  • Contribute positively and proactively to the Department’s teaching culture, especially considering issues of underrepresentation in history.

This post will be offered on a fixed-term, full-time basis (36.25 hours per week), commencing 1st September 2023 and ending on 31st August 2024. Job share arrangements may be considered.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Andrew Cobbing, Head of Department, email: andrew.cobbing@nottingham.ac.uk; please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
