What will you be doing?

You will work further to develop an established research profile in your areas of expertise through publication, bidding for external research funding, and presenting your research at national and international conferences. You will play an active role in maintaining and enhancing the research profile of the Department, School, and Faculty and may contribute to generating wide-ranging impact. You will also be expected, after training and mentoring, to supervise postgraduate research students. You will therefore be expected to develop and keep up-to-date with scholarship in relevant fields of teaching and research.

You will design and deliver units across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the Department of English, including research-led specialist units and a unit on Eighteenth Century prose fiction, contributing to team-taught core and period units, and teaching flexibly across the English curriculum. You may also contribute to School and Faculty programmes and teaching initiatives relevant to your specialisms.

You will take responsibility for a share of administration at Department, School and Faculty level as appropriate to your experience and career stage. You will be expected to develop an understanding of University structures, policies, and procedures necessary to fulfil such roles effectively. 

You should apply if

  • You have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant area of English Literature (or a closely related field) by the application deadline; have a record of publication and well-developed plans for future research publication in the field of Eighteenth-Century Literature (1700-1800); and have demonstrated clear potential to achieve international excellence in research and to attract external research funding. You may also have plans to achieve impact and public engagement with your research.
  • You have a proven track record of teaching Eighteenth Century Literature, at undergraduate and/or postgraduate levels, and potentially also of teaching other units related to your specialism(s). You have completed a HEA-accredited teaching qualification or have clear plans to do so.
