Teaching Associate in the History of Medicine (Fixed term, Part time)

Location: University Park

The Department of History at the University of Nottingham is looking to appoint a Teaching Associate in the History of Medicine with specialist knowledge of the links between medicine and British colonialism. You will have a PhD already awarded (or to be awarded by the time of the appointment) in the relevant subject area or equivalent qualification, with teaching experience at undergraduate level in the history of medicine.

The role holder will convene and teach the Third Year UG module HIST3063 – 'Disease and Domination: The history of medicine and the colonial encounter'. Additionally, the role holder will take on some level 1 seminar teaching, be assigned personal tutees, and will supervise a number of undergraduate dissertations.

You will contribute to an exceptional education for undergraduates in history and the Department’s research profile and culture. You will also contribute positively to the Department’s and School’s initiatives in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.

We are welcoming, supportive and caring, conscious that diversity in our community is fundamental to our values and vital to our success. You will be able to demonstrate an ability to make a positive difference to issues of underrepresentation. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people currently underrepresented in the field of History, such as those from marginalised genders (e.g. women, non-binary, trans), people with disabling conditions, and people from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds. 

Shortlisting is anonymous: we cannot see any personal data or the ‘Additional Information’ section in your application until shortlisting is completed. Shortlisting is by criteria-based questions based on the person specification, rather than CV or letter.

About the role:

• Design and deliver modules in the history of medicine and its links to colonialism, contributing lectures and seminars within the Department's overall teaching programme.
• Supervise and examine undergraduate students.
• Support tutorial groups, developing their knowledge and learning skills.
• Take a proactive role in the pastoral support of students.
• Be responsible for administrative duties.
• Contribute to impact, public engagement and interdisciplinarity.

This post will be offered on a part-time (18 hours per week), fixed-term contract commencing 1st September 2024 until 31st August 2030.
