Liverpool Hope University is a vibrant community with high scholarly standards. We are proud of our past, confident in our present and ambitious for our future. Research is central to our curriculum development and enhancement and all academic staff at the University engage in research. We are now preparing for the 2014 REF and strengthening even further our research degree programme (PhD and EdD) following the award of RDAP. This developing research expertise builds upon and complements our already well established reputation for excellence in teaching and learning. Our policy is to combine these elements of our work in keeping with the University’s stated academic profile as a research-informed, teaching led University of distinction. It is in this context that we now seek scholars in a number of areas who will join with us in pursuit of excellence; these opportunities include the post of:
Post Doctoral Teaching Fellow in Art History
We are looking to appoint a postdoctoral teaching fellow in Art History, who will undertake teaching on the undergraduate programme in Fine Art and a new pathway being developed in Art and Design History, as well as the MA in Art History and Curating. Candidates should ideally have experience of working with museums or a practical and/or research interest in art history and curating.
In terms of teaching experience, applicants should have a proven record of curriculum delivery and development, especially in the enrichment of existing modules by research. The Department places emphasis on teaching that is research-led. Though these are Post Doctoral Teaching Fellowships the new Fellow would be welcome, and indeed encouraged, to make a contribution to a range of research activities within the Faculty and to develop her/his research profile within the overall research culture that exists in the Faculty. The Faculty will also fund the Fellow, subject to conditions, in delivering a paper at one national conference (subject to a maximum overall cost approved by the Dean but not normally more than £500). Moreover, members of the department play an active role in supporting where appropriate CPD, enterprise and outreach activities.
The salary is £29,972. This post is available with effect from September 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter and will last until 30 June 2012.
