Lecturer in Historical & Cultural Geographies

The role

The School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Historical & Cultural Geographies. You will help build the School’s capacity for research in this area and will join our growing Historical and Cultural Geography Research Group.

We welcome applications from across historical and cultural geographies, and are open to a plurality of methodological and conceptual approaches and perspectives, as evidenced by our current expertise in more-than-human geographies, historical geographies of emotion, environment and demography, landscape geographies and spatial theory.

We are especially interested in applications from candidates who would extend and diversify our expertise further in areas including geohumanities; cultural and historical geographies of social and environmental change; cultural and historical geographies of race, imperialism and justice. You will join a flourishing and hospitable research group community in the School of Geographical Sciences, and will benefit from our strong connections with social science and humanities-focused research centres and institutes across the University.

The School of Geographical Sciences, like many other Schools and Departments across the University, is committed to efforts to decolonise our curriculum and to transform our research and teaching as part of these efforts. The successful candidate will be joining the School at an important time in our history and we especially welcome applicants interested in supporting this work.
