Lecturer in Text/Image Studies (R&T Track)

Stirling Maxwell Centre for the Study of Text/Image Cultures

This post is full time (35 hours per week) and is open ended.

In accordance with the generosity of the late Peter Davies, the School of Modern Languages and Cultures is seeking to appoint a Lectureship or Senior Lectureship in Text/Image Studies at the University of Glasgow. Boasting outstanding material riches—in particular those of the Stirling Maxwell Collection and of The Hunterian—, it is through the Stirling Maxwell Centre that the University holds a leading place worldwide in the research and teaching of Text/Image Studies.

Specialisation should include, but need not be limited to, a focus on Emblem and/or Comics Studies. The successful applicant will have a high level of ability with respect to information technology and its practical and social applications. It is expected that the postholder will be instrumental in the creation and implementation in the new MLitt in the field of Text/Image Studies. In the long term it is expected that the postholder will assume a leading role in the future development of the Stirling Maxwell Centre.

The postholder will undertake research of international excellence and contribute to learning and teaching on agreed programmes (including SMLC language teaching) and to knowledge exchange activities relative to the discipline. The postholder will also undertake administration and service activities in line with the strategic objectives of the School and of the College.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Professor Laurence Grove, Laurence.Grove@glasgow.ac.uk
