The Professor will be expected to teach topics of British History, to undertake public speaking, and to participate in academic conferences in the US and Canada.

Applicants must be UK citizens or resident in the UK, hold a Ph.D. Degree, and have at least one year's experience of lecturing to undergraduate students. A knowledge of the American higher education system is expected and experience in this system preferred.

A grant of up to $40,000, plus economy round trip travel for the successful applicant and up to four dependants and a budget for internal travel in the US related to lectures and attendance at conferences, is available.
