Role Summary
This appointment offers an exciting opportunity to gain academic experience working in 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. The appointee will also benefit from interdisciplinary engagement across and beyond the school, particularly through the Birmingham Research Institute for History and Cultures and our various research centres.
We are seeking to appoint a Teaching Fellow in Modern European History.
This teaching fellowship results from the award of a Gerda Henkel Fellowship to Dr Armin Grünbacher. The appointee will provide teaching cover for both core and specialist optional courses that Dr Grünbacher was expected to provide in the 2023–24 academic session including ‘The Economics of War’ (compulsory module at MA level) and the third year/Masters Special Subject ‘After Hitler: Politics and Society in (West) Germany during the Adenauer Era, 1945–1965’. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to core and team-taught modules including Group Research; the Global Cold War; as well as UG and PGT dissertation supervision.
The successful candidate will be supported to utilise, develop, and customise existing course materials while bringing their own specialisms to core and team-taught modules. The department and School have a thriving community of early career scholars and the appointee will be able to benefit from a range of career development opportunities within a leading Russell Group University.
