italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
The School of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Leeds is pleased to announce that it is currently looking to appoint to two two-year fixed term lectureships (Grade 7) in Italian from 1st August 2012.
We welcome applications from specialists in any areas of Italian studies, although preference may be given to those with expertise in the post-medieval period.
One of those appointed will be expected to spend 20 per cent of her/his time working as a research assistant to Professor Claire Honess, Head of School. Since Professor Honess works on medieval studies, a willingness to carry out research assistance in this area is desirable, although it need not constitute the principal focus of the appointee's research activity.
Both lecturers will cover undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in Italian in general, as well as specialist modules within their areas of research expertise. They may also be expected to contribute to School-wide modules. An ability to supervise research students is desirable.
Both appointees will have a PhD within the field of Italian studies and relevant teaching experience. Their recent and/or forthcoming publications will indicate an ability to make a distinctive contribution to research activity commensurate with inclusion in the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework. They should be able to contribute to research activity in the broader School of Modern Languages and Cultures through membership of one or more of its cross-language research groups. They will also be expected to undertake administrative tasks as required.
There will be a formal university interview for this post, and candidates will also be required to make a presentation to the School about their research and/or teaching.
