Lecturer in Early Modern History

We are seeking to recruit a Lecturer in Modern History. The School of Humanities at Liverpool Hope University is a vibrant community with high scholarly standards. We are proud of our past, confident in our present, and ambitious for our future learning, teaching and research goals.

The School of Humanities runs undergraduate degree programmes in Creative Writing, English Language, English Literature, History, Politics and International Relations, Media and Communication, Philosophy and Ethics, Religion, Theology and Spirituality. The School also runs MA programmes in History, Politics and International Relations, and English Literature and Creative Writing.

We submitted over 96% of our Research active staff (colleagues with Significant Responsibility for Research) in thirteen Units of Assessment for REF 2021. All 13 subject units were assessed as having aspects of their work in Internationally Excellent (3*) or World Leading (4*) categories.

You will join a supportive and collaborative team who work closely together. The School is fully committed to excellence in teaching, to enhancing the student experience, and to research-informed teaching. Our team is supported by experienced historians with distinctive specialisms in Early Modern and Modern History and an outstanding record of pastoral support and pedagogical practice.

We welcome interest from applicants who specialise in any area of Early Modern History. In the current academic year, the teaching responsibilities of the successful candidate will include delivery of core course content on Early Modern British history at first-year level, a short (six-week) first-year course that would introduce students to the postholder's area of expertise, and a third-year module within the general theme of Conflict and Colonisation. In subsequent years, the postholder will also be expected to create and deliver modules at UG and MA levels, and will be encouraged to propose changes to existing provision based on their research expertise, preferably around themes in early modern global or European history.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to existing provision within the School, support future curriculum developments, and enhance the research profile of the History team. The successful candidate will also undertake UG, MA and PhD supervisory roles, alongside administrative roles at School, Faculty, and potentially University levels.

We recruit staff nationally and internationally as we seek out the best people to help build Hope for the future. We are committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity to create an inclusive working environment that recognises and respects difference. If you join us, you will be doing so at an exciting and challenging time as we work to build a university of distinction in the UK.
