italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear list members,
the Department of Italian at Durham University seeks to appoint a
permanent full-time Lecturer in Italian from September 2014.
Applications are sought from candidates specialising in Italian studies
from the Unification (1861) to the present day. Applications are
particularly welcome from those specialising in subjects that chime with
the broader strengths of the School, including literature, visual
culture, cultural and intellectual history. Research conducted in this
post will be encouraged to have impact beyond academia; a clear
understanding of the impact agenda of the UK research councils is highly
desirable.
The successful candidate will undertake research, teaching and
administration at a level appropriate to their skills and experience.
Appointment at Grade 7 is appropriate for candidates who are likely to
be early-career researchers with proven expertise in a relevant area of
Italian Studies, some exposure to University-level teaching, a
developing record of high-quality publications, demonstrable potential
for producing research that generates impact (broadly understood) beyond
the academic community, and demonstrable potential for the generation of
grant funding. Appointment at Grade 8 is broadly comparable, but
commensurate with a greater amount of experience and achievement,
including an ability to attract and successfully supervise doctoral
students, a mature record of excellent publications, a record of
producing research that generates impact (broadly understood) beyond the
academic community, and funding success. The successful candidate will
be given a reduced teaching and administrative load during the
three-year probationary period and will be supported in developing a
sophisticated research portfolio.
