London, United Kingdom King's College London Full time

Job Description

The Department of History seeks to appoint a Lecturer specialising in the history of Twentieth-Century South Asia for 20 months. This is to cover a colleague awarded a research grant. We are looking to recruit a colleague with expertise in any aspect of the history of South Asia, with a preference for candidates who can teach the international history of the region.

You will conduct and publish high quality research in the subject. You will teach a second-year module in the history of South Asia’s international relations, and a third-year, document-based module in post-imperial India, as well as contributing to survey modules and MA teaching. You will assume pastoral and administrative responsibilities, and participate actively in the life and culture of the department. A strong research record, excellent teaching ability, outstanding interpersonal skills and a collaborative ethos are essential for the role.

King’s History department is an internationally-recognised centre for the study of the history of the world. Our undergraduate curriculum introduces students to world history from the early medieval period to the present; it then offers students pathways to study every continent through their second and third years. Our MA provision is similarly broad, developing students’ expertise in medieval, early modern and modern world history. We are an intellectual home for scholars of every region of the world, who use approaches which range from local micro-histories to large-scale quantitative analysis. We particularly value conversation between scholars of different periods and places, with different approaches.

We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates as they are under-represented in the Department of History. Applications from members of groups marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the Equality Act are particularly welcome.

This post will be offered on a full-time 20 month fixed term contract.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct and publish high-quality research in the history of Twentieth-Century South Asia
  • Contribute to the teaching of modern world history and South Asian history at undergraduate level
  • Participate and help lead the collaborative research activities of history at King’s
  • Contribute to core, team-taught teaching in the history department at undergraduate and postgraduate level
  • Contribute to the administrative and pastoral provision of the department of History

The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.

Application Deadline: 25 April 2024
