Associate Lecturer in Byzantine Art

The Courtauld wishes to appoint an Associate Lecturer with a specialism in Byzantine art for a fixed-term period of 12 months from 1 August 2024.

The successful candidate will provide teaching relief for Prof Antony Eastmond, delivering a proportion of the MA special option 'Byzantium and its Rivals: Art, Display and Cultural Identity in the Christian and Islamic Mediterranean,' (see: https://courtauld.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/ma-history-of-art/byzantium-and-its-rivals/) teaching a range of undergraduate modules (including a lecture module on ‘Art and the Crusades’) and taking on some administrative responsibility to a total equivalent of a 0.8FTE teaching and administration load. As a guide, this is usually up to 6-8 hours of seminar teaching or lecturing per week during each semester, the bulk of teaching usually finishes by the end of March, and most marking is complete by the end of June. The exact BA modules to be taught will be selected in discussion with the Head of Art History, from an existing list of approved options, with some scope for adapting to the applicant’s own specialism.

The applicant will also act as a personal tutor to a group of 12-15 BA students, and will be responsible, along with permanent faculty, for supervising up to 6 BA3/Graduate Diploma dissertations from the end of the Spring Semester (these are submitted in May). They will be responsible for the administration and assessment of their taught modules and will assist in the reciprocal moderation of marks for modules by other colleagues as appropriate. Training is provided for all Associate Lecturers in the summer preceding the academic year in which they will be teaching.
