Lectureship in South Asian Art History
Institution Type: | College / University |
Location: | United Kingdom |
Position: | Lecturer |
The University of Edinburgh is establishing a new lectureship in South Asian Art History (any specialisation between the 4th and 18th centuries). Specialists of Islamic Art in South Asia are welcome to apply.
The University of Edinburgh is one of the world's top 20 institutions of Higher Education. The School of History of Art in Edinburgh College of Art reflects all of the University's principal characteristics, with a cosmopolitan academic staff numbering over 20, and with a body of 400 undergraduate and 100 postgraduate students drawn from all over the world. We carry out internationally excellent teaching and research, and attract high-calibre students.
The successful candidate will be in the early stages of their academic career, having completed their doctoral research. They will have evidence of excellent research outcomes (publications, research funding, impact and/or knowledge exchange activities). They will have experience of teaching in higher education and a proven commitment to excellence in this area. They will be team players, keen to work with colleagues to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the subject area through administrative tasks and strategic engagement. They will therefore understand the implications of academic governance and leadership.
This is a full-time, open-ended post. It will expand the range of Asian art histories already taught at the department, which include Islamic, Chinese and Japanese art.
Deadline: 5 May 2015. The selection panel expect to interview short-listed applicants in Edinburgh in the week beginning 1st June 2015.
