Departmental Lecturer in Visual, Material and Museum Anthropology

The School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography (SAME) seeks to appoint an inspirational teacher to a one-year Departmental Lectureship, undertaking teaching, examining and administration for the MSc and MPhil in Visual, Material and Museum Anthropology (VMMA) postgraduate degrees. The programme consists of a one-year MSc and a two-year MPhil degree that focus on theories and methods within visual anthropology, material anthropology, and museum anthropology, and how these areas of enquiry are transforming the discipline of anthropology itself and the current issues they may be used to address.

You will need both breadth and depth of knowledge in an area of visual, material and/or museum anthropology, and a full command of the relevant literature in it, as well as the capacity to contribute to the teaching across the spectrum of the VMMA degrees. The successful candidate will teach tutorials, give lectures and research methods classes, supervise dissertations, undertake examining, and help to organise the Pitt Rivers Museum/VMMA research seminar series.

Dr Chihab El Khachab will be happy to answer informal queries regarding the post and the VMMA team: chihab.elkhachab@anthro.ox.ac.uk.

The deadline for applications is 12 noon on Friday 11th July 2025.

We expect to hold interviews in the week commencing 28th July 2025.
