1 week ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

About the role


This is an exciting opportunity to join the thriving Modern Asian History community in the History Faculty, and to develop teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

You will be associated with the History Faculty and you will also be an associate of the University's China Centre.

Although this is primarily a teaching role, you will also conduct independent research, and play an active part in the University's interdisciplinary community.

The Faculty of History provides a robust and supportive framework for research.

The Faculty enables all its postholders, including departmental lecturers, to request up to £800 per year for research expenses, and makes additional funds available for organising conferences in Oxford.

In addition, to assist newly-appointed postholders in the development and publication of their research, Faculty funds are available for early career and established colleagues to hold a workshop at which colleagues can discuss drafts of their next monograph.

The post is a full-time, fixed term until 30th September 2025, tenable from 1st October 2024.

About you


You will have research and teaching interests in any area of Modern Chinese History or East Asian History with a focus on China.

You will demonstrate an ability and willingness to teach and supervise across a range of topics in Chinese and East Asian History during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and you must also be able to contribute as appropriate to the teaching of wider options in Global History.


You will hold a completed doctorate in a relevant field, or evidence that a doctorate is close to completion, and possess an aptitude for teaching, the ability to inspire and enthuse students of high ability, and some experience of teaching Chinese and East Asian History.

You will also have sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in Chinese and East Asian History to develop course materials, as well as a strong publication record commensurate with career stage, a clear profile of the research to be undertaken during the period of appointment, and familiarity with the existing literature and research in the field of Chinese and East Asian History.
