Lecturer in Dress and Textiles
(£30,354-£44,963 pa inc London Allowance)
The Courtauld Institute of Art is the UK’s leading institution for teaching and research into the History of Art and
the conservation of paintings, and has a distinguished history of scholarship and teaching in the History of Dress.
The Courtauld Institute of Art seeks to appoint a permanent full-time lecturer from September 2009. This
appointment requires a familiarity with current debates in the cultural study of dress and textiles, and an active
engagement with the theoretical dimensions of the subject. The post-holder will be required to teach on the BA
Programme at the Courtauld Institute, offering courses focusing on dress and/or textiles that complement, enhance
and extend the current teaching of primarily European and American art, and will also be expected to devise and
teach a specialist topic at MA level. The capacity to offer this MA course in the historical period before 1850 will
be an advantage, though the post-holder’s own research interests may encompass later developments. We are looking
for a scholar who will in due course attract PhD students of the highest calibre and who will maintain the
Courtauld’s reputation as a premier research institute.
The minimum requirements for the post are a PhD and some teaching experience. The selectors will place considerable
emphasis on publications and future research plans. They will be looking for indications of the capacity to
initiate collaborative research; the candidate should be able to outline possible research grant applications.

Interview Date: mid March 2009
