A PhD in Art History or Visual Culture, or any allied disciplines (completed or near completion) is essential, as well as up-to-date knowledge of debates in contemporary art history and/or digital art or heritage, such as decolonial approaches in the discipline or curating digital art and global contemporary art. In addition, you will have a solid knowledge of art history and visual culture as a basis for teaching on a variety of core curriculum areas, across our undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

This is a fixed term contract for three years . The start date would be as soon possible, or as mutually agreeable from December 2021.

We are committed to diversifying the racial and ethnic profile of our community, and especially welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates. We are seeking colleagues who have an understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion and how these principles can be applied in HE settings. We value self-awareness, in terms of understanding candidates’ own culture, identity, biases, prejudices, power, privilege and stereotypes, as well as a willingness to challenge practices that present barriers to different groups.

The University is committed to an inclusive environment which embraces equality and diversity in our working, learning, research and teaching environment. We particularly encourage applicants from a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background because the university is underrepresented by BAME staff.

Application Deadline: 2 November 2021
