Lecturer in History of Art Post-1800
Applications are invited for a full-time Lectureship in History of Art Post-1800, available from September 2022. The lectureship will be appointed on a research and teaching contract. The Department of History of Art is one of the largest and most dynamic communities of art historians in the UK, with eighteen research-active colleagues who cover all periods from late antiquity to the present. The Department has some 350 students across a portfolio of exciting Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes with a wide historical, geographical, and thematic breadth, supported by a friendly atmosphere, small-group teaching methods, regular study trips, and spectacular historic locations. The Department has initiated a number of innovative partnerships with museums, galleries, and other organisations (including the National Gallery, Tate, the Victoria and Albert Museum, York Museums Trust, York Minster, and the Yorkshire Country House Partnership). These are coordinated through the Department’s ambitious umbrella organisation, York Art History Collaborations (YAHCs).

You will develop innovative teaching materials, techniques, and module design and take responsibility for the quality of the provision in the Department’s teaching programmes at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels. This will involve planning, organising, delivering, and assessing specific modules in the history of the visual arts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. You will develop and undertake research projects within your specialist research field, which may relate to any aspect of the visual arts in the period since 1800. Your research will lead to the production and publication of high-quality outputs and outcomes. You will also undertake departmental citizenship and administrative responsibilities including the pastoral supervision of students.
Skills, Experience & Qualification needed
We are seeking an outstanding individual who has the ambition to have substantial impact in their field, can demonstrate international research potential, and who can inspire students through innovative teaching. As the successful candidate, you will have a PhD in Art History or a relevant area and be able to demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of art since 1800. You will also have experience of teaching in Higher Education and the ability to play a significant role in the delivery and development of our existing and planned undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
