We are looking for two historians who work on the history of war and conflict from c. 1700 to the present. This field is interpreted broadly to include all approaches to security, conflict and warfare. Geographic specialization is open, though we are particularly interested in candidates whose research can complement our existing strengths in Europe, Africa and modern empire, and whose research falls within one of more of the School’s key research themes and strengthens our commitment to expanding our global reach.
The appointments will be expected to consolidate our UG teaching provision, to contribute to postgraduate programmes in War Studies and History and to help expand PGT and PGR recruitment. They will also be expected to work with one or more of our research centres to bolster History’s performance in the REF.

Research:
- developing and consolidating existing research interests within the School of History and Cultures, both individually and with others, with a view to publication of high-quality research
