Applications are invited for a University Lecturer in Early Modern European History, c.1450-c.1750, to replace Professor Peter Burke, following his retirement.
In the first year the appointee is likely to carry out most of his/her undergraduate teaching for Part I of the Tripos, in the form of lectures and related supervisions. But there will be an opportunity in due course to offer a Part II paper more closely related to his/her research interest.
The appointee will also play a part in the provision of lectures, classes, and supervisions for M.Phil. courses within his/her fields of expertise, particularly those in Early Modern History and Historical Studies. He/she will be eventually expected to undertake administrative tasks in the Faculty.
The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer is £24,820 a year, rising by eleven annual increments to £38,303 a year. Appointment will be from 1 October 2005 or as soon as possible thereafter, and will be for three or five years in the first instance with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age.
