The Department of History at the University of Nottingham is looking to appoint a Teaching Associate in Medieval History with specialist knowledge on the history of sexuality in early medieval Europe. The role holder will have a Ph D already awarded (or to be awarded by the time of the appointment) in the relevant subject area, or equivalent qualification, with teaching experience at undergraduate level in medieval history.
The role holder will convene and teach the second-year undergraduate module HIST2006 ‘Sexuality in Early Medieval Europe’. Additionally, the role holder will teach undergraduate seminar groups in HIST1001 Learning History and HIST1003 Making of the Middle Ages, and may supervise a number of undergraduate dissertations and be assigned some personal tutees.
