Below are extracts from an advert issued by the University of Leicester
Personnel Office. The successful candidate [so comments Graham Shipley] is
likely to be an outstanding postdoctoral ancient historian working in the
period c. AD 350-700, who can fit into a School of Archaeology and Ancient
History with a strong research and teaching culture (grade 5 RAE in 1996
and 2001; 24 at QA in 2001).

NB Although described as a research fellowship, this position becomes a
permanent lectureship after 5 years (those are my words, not official
terminology!).

The official points of contact for further enquiries are given at the end
of the message. If anyone wants to talk to me (Jon Prag, the list-owner)
about the department at Leicester, as off the record as you like, please
feel free to get in touch: [log in to unmask] or 0116-2522640.

best wishes,
Jon
