The British School at Rome (BSR), the largest of the British International Research Institutes, is seeking to appoint an
Assistant Director for the Humanities and Social Sciences, to play a vital role in the delivery of the BSR’s Research Strategy and Strategic Plan (along with

we are ideally placed to deliver on the UK’s strategic priorities in research and innovation through our support for and mentoring of the most talented scholars of the art, history and culture of the Mediterranean from prehistory to the present day, and of
contemporary architects, artists and curators. Our aim is to act as a catalyst for academic research and creative practice through engagement with Mediterranean, Italian and Rome-based international agencies to enhance connectivity, partnership and collaboration
for UK and Commonwealth researchers and creative artists.
Key responsibilities for the post of Assistant Director include:
The post-holder will be provided with a self-catering one-bedroom flat at the BSR, and all residential living costs will be covered; plus a salary of £20,000 per annum and a research grant of £1,500
