Salary: £42,149 - £51,799 per annum
Start Date: 1 September 2022
Fixed Term: 5 years
We wish to appoint a fixed-term Lecturer in Archaeology
and Ancient History within the School of Classics. This opportunity has arisen
as a result of the appointment of Professor Rebecca Sweetman to the
Directorship of the British School at Athens. The successful candidates will be
a scholar with a growing international research reputation with the expertise
to deliver high-quality teaching in archaeological skills and approaches, to
develop attractive and specialist modules in the areas of their research, as
well as to contribute to our provision in ancient history more widely. We are open
to appointing candidates with a wide range of research specialisms in material
culture, but we have a special interest in candidates with expertise in the
history and archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean. The post is fixed term for
5 years from 1 September 2022.
The successful candidate will be expected to be
active in research publication and impact, and demonstrate an interest in
promoting knowledge exchange. A commitment to research-led teaching and the
ability to communicate with undergraduate and taught postgraduate students from
a wide range of backgrounds is essential. Rebecca Sweetman normally offers a biennial Honours module, Footsteps of
the Ancients, involving a two-week field trip to Greece. A willingness to
continue this module, or offer a similar experience elsewhere, may be an
advantage. Familiarity with
grant-seeking processes in relation to research councils and other sources is
desirable.
Informal enquiries are warmly welcomed and can
be directed to the Head of School Prof Sweetman (rs43@st-andrews) or Prof Tom
Harrison (tehh@st-andrews.ac.uk)
