Summary of the role/position

We are seeking to appoint a new Lecturer with a particular focus on colonial/post-colonial history. You will have expertise in an aspect of the global history of colonialism/postcolonialism.

At undergraduate level you will be asked to develop a teaching portfolio built around your research expertise, and to contribute to jointly taught modules at first-year. The appointee may also be asked to make a significant contribution to the MA International Heritage Management and Consultancy.
