RCUK Academic Fellowship
Department of Art History and Theory

Applications are invited for this Academic Fellowship established as a
result of the Roberts Review "SET for Success" and aimed at providing
contract research staff with more attractive and stable paths into
permanent academic positions. See http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/acfellow/ for
further details of the scheme.

Applicants should have sufficient postdoctoral (or equivalent) experience
to demonstrate their outstanding research potential in fields cognate to
this fellowship:

The fellowship will be held in the lively and internationally
distinguished Department of Art History and Theory, rated ‘5' in the last
RAE, in the field of nineteenth-century French art and theory. Applicants
should hold a PhD in Art History or a related specialism. Likely teaching
areas are MA modules based on the successful candidate's research
interests, and a new honours level undergraduate course in the area of the
nineteenth-century French art.

Although these posts are fully funded, the nature of the funding provided
by the RCUK means that those currently holding a personal research
fellowship or research grant are eligible to apply. Individuals who
already hold a permanent position are not eligible to apply.

Appointment to this post, from 1 October 2007, is for a period of 5 years
after which the University will guarantee a permanent academic position,
subject to the successful completion of a probationary period and the
appointee meeting the University criteria for appointment to an academic
post. Salary will be on the scale £26,666-£31,840 annum depending on
skills and experience.
