**About us**:
UCL History of Art is a successful medium-sized department, based within the Faculty of Social & Historical Sciences, with a very high international reputation. Academic staff have a wide range of approaches to the history of art, working across an expanded global geography and including interests in image cultures, the materials and materiality of art, and visual technologies of all kinds. The Department’s research was ranked 1st in London for Art and Design: History, Practice and Theory by REF 2021 (overall GPA rankings).

The Department has a large and productive research-student community, with an average of 30-40 research students registered in any one year, and a thriving MA History of Art programme. In 2023 we are launching a new MSc Conservation of Contemporary Art & Media at UCL East, a new campus in east London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Undergraduate programmes include a single honours History of Art degree and several combined honours programmes. As part of the single honours degree, students can choose to follow a unique route in History of Art, Materials and Technology (MAT), which includes a strong component of lab-oriented work for students wishing to explore issues of materiality, technique, technical analysis and object-based enquiry, as well as associated theoretical, historical and ethical questions.

The Department houses the Material Studies Laboratory, a research and teaching facility consisting of two laboratory spaces, one dedicated to teaching and handling of materials and artifacts, and a second focusing on the instrumental analysis of heritage materials. The laboratory is used by UCL academics and researchers in addition to undergraduate students studying on the MAT route. The facility is equipped with instruments for materials characterisation, with a particular focus on mechanical analysis of cultural heritage materials. The laboratory also has portable equipment that can be used for scientific investigations onsite within museum and heritage collections.

**About the role**:
The Department is seeking to appoint a full-time Lecturer (Grade 8) in the History of Art, Materials and Technology, to begin on 1 September 2023.

**About you**:
Current modules offered within the History of Art, Materials and Technologies (MAT) route include Introduction to Art and Science; Introduction to Media and Technologies; History and Theory of Conservation; Methodologies of Making; Methods and Materials of Artists; and Art/Work/Space. The postholder will be expected to engage with a selection of these modules, as appropriate, while also developing new options at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

**What we offer**:
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

- 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
- Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme
