Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to a 24 month fixed-term appointment. The post-holder will carry out research of their own design in the field of Black British Culture and collaborate with colleagues in the Humanities areas of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. They may also be tasked with teaching a small and limited number of hours per week with a specific focus on Black British culture. An interest in ‘northern’ culture, broadly defined, may be an advantage, as will be the proven ability to inspire confidence in diverse communities who might take interest in the research of the School.

Closing date: 13 July 2023 (23:59) Please note that you will not be able to edit or submit a part-completed application form after the closing date. 

Working here means you’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits including our generous pension schemes, excellent holiday entitlements, flexible working, reduced study fees, subsidised fitness facilities and a lot more.

We welcome applications from all individuals and particularly from black and minority ethnic candidates as members of these groups are currently under-represented at this level of post. All appointments will be based on merit.
