Start Date: 1 September 2021, or as soon as possible thereafter
We are seeking to appoint a full-time lecturer in
Iranian Islamic Art History (651-1725). Applications are invited from candidates whose research interests lie
broadly within the spectrum of the Islamic art and/or architecture of the
Iranian world, broadly defined. Candidates will therefore be expected to have
the centre of gravity of their research squarely in the Iranian world in the
Islamic period. Evidence of breadth of interest within the field of Iranian Islamic
art and/or architecture is highly desirable, and a firm grounding in Iranian
studies generally (e.g. in the fields of language, history, literature,
religion) will be an advantage. (Please note that we are not seeking a
candidate who is interested in Iranian Islamic art as an offshoot of another
field.)
You should already have, or be close to completing,
a Ph.D. You should be able to provide
evidence of your research abilities in the form of publications of
internationally-recognized quality as well as a programme of on-going research
that will contribute to our reputation as one of the leading Art History
departments in the UK (we were ranked 2nd among Art History departments in REF
2014). Other indications of research activity (e.g. grants awarded, conference
papers delivered, exhibitions organized) will also be taken into account, as
will evidence that your research has had or will have an impact beyond
academia.
You will be expected to offer attractive and
accessible undergraduate courses on Iranian art and/or architecture, giving
students as much first-hand experience of works as possible. You will also be
required to contribute lectures on our first and/or second-year survey modules.
Working with postgraduates, both teaching M.Litt. classes and supervising Ph.D.
research, will also be a vital part of your role. More broadly, it is expected
that the successful candidate will participate in the activities of the
Institute of Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews.
Like other members of the School, you will be
expected to take on administrative tasks as required by the Head of School.
Informal enquiries can be
directed to the Head of School, Dr Linda Goddard:
ljg21@st-andrews.ac.uk.
Applications
are particularly welcome from women, people from the Black, Asian and Minority
Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are
under-represented in Arts posts at the University.
The University is
committed to equality for all, demonstrated through accreditation (Athena SWAN;
