Academic Development Programme - new Assistant Professors will undertake a 5-year development programme, at the end of which they are expected to be promoted to Associate Professor. The programme consists of a variety of development opportunities and the time to reflect and develop.

This appointment offers an exciting opportunity to join the Department of History in the School of History and Cultures at Birmingham. The department has an international reputation for excellence in research and teaching.

We seek a specialist historian to support and develop our research and teaching in the Pre-Modern Islamicate World. We would especially welcome applicants with an existing research focus on the Ottoman Empire and global networks.

This appointment reflects the department’s identification of Medieval History, Early Modern History and Global History as priority areas across our core activities of education, research, impact and public engagement. The successful candidate will be expected to support and enhance our teaching provision in these areas. In the first year the appointee will be tasked with teaching the following modules: State and Empire in the Early Modern World; After the Caliphate: Political Authority in Islamic Lands, 1000–1600; Conquest and Crisis in the Ottoman Empire. Other teaching is likely to include contributions to some of the following modules and programmes: Discovering the Middle Ages; Living in the Middle Ages; The Making of the Modern World: 1500–1800; Group Research; MA in History (e.g. Approaches to Medieval Studies; Introduction to Early Modern History; Global Histories: Comparisons and Connections).

In subsequent years, the successful candidate will be supported to design and deliver undergraduate and graduate optional modules to reflect their own specialisms as well as participating in compulsory and team-taught modules and acting as doctoral and postdoctoral supervisor/mentor.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the department’s national and international reputation for research excellence and to support the department’s position within a civic university, its commitment to public engagement and its strengths in building and sustaining relationships with organisations, groups and communities within the region, especially those not already included.
