University of York, United Kingdom University of York Full time

**The Role**:
The Department of History of Art at York seeks to appoint a Research Fellow. This position, initially for a 1-year appointment, has been created to employ someone to catalogue, research and publish material in the David Stronach Archive. David Stronach was a leading figure in the post-war period in the field of Iranian archaeology, and the project is being funded by the British Institute of Persian Studies.

In addition to the advertised salary, there is an additional £4,000 available to cover travel and other research expenses incurred in the course of undertaking the role.

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr Richard McClary and the project is being directed by Dr John Curtis FBA. The material is currently being digitised at the Pourdavourd Centre for the Study of the Iranian World at UCLA, and the physical documentation will then be shipped from there to the UK.

Knowledge of Farsi would be an advantage, as would experience setting up databases and digitising archival material.

You should be developing a reputation in your field, with high-quality publications that address major questions, and well-developed plans for future research.

The Department of History of Art is one of the largest and most dynamic communities of art historians in the UK, with seventeen research-active colleagues who cover all periods from late antiquity to the present. The department ranked first in the UK for Environment and Impact in the recent Research Excellence Framework (2021), and in the top 10 overall.

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.

We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
