SOAS University of London is the leading Higher Education institution in Europe specialising in the study of Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East. SOAS University of London is positioned to play a leading role in reimagining higher education globally, with a new strategic plan in place as the basis for the renewal and revitalisation of the School which commits SOAS to both student responsiveness and research intensity. SOAS is moving towards a new model of international partnerships which is responsive to the transnational character of our global challenges.
About the Role
SOAS are looking for a one-year replacement covering the History of the Middle East for a colleague who will be on research leave during the 2022-2023 academic year.
About you:
The role holder will be expected to teach and supervise UG and PGT dissertations on the history of the Middle East and related areas. The preferred candidate will hold a PhD in History or a closely related discipline and have gained some initial teaching and supervision experience. A strong commitment to innovative approaches to teaching and research and a collegial working style will be welcome.
You can find further information on the key criteria for the role on the SOAS website.
About the Department
The School of History, Religions & Philosophies offers degree programmes that cover the histories, systems of belief and thought in Africa, Asia and the Near and Middle East. We are unique in the field for approaching these subjects from the perspective of Asia and Africa, rather than through a western-centric framework, and for exploring in depth the dynamic histories of these regions based on in-depth knowledge of their languages, cultures, and systems of belief and thought. Our innovative and progressive teaching has contributed to our recent ranking of 10th in the UK and 39th in the world (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017) for History; and 17th in the UK for Religions and Philosophies.
